IPL 2017: 'Down to earth' MS Dhoni sits on the floor at airport to play with Imran Tahir's son

Pune, May 4: Former India captain MS Dhoni was undoubtedly the most sought after cricketer during the match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rising Pune Supergiant in Kolkata on Wednesday (May 4).

The chants of 'Dhoni Dhoni' at Eden Gardens were constantly reverberating during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 tie between KKR and RPS.

Despite being home to KKR, there seemed no dearth of support for the RPS from a jam-packed Eden Stadium and the prime reason for that was presence of MS Dhoni in Steve Smith's squad.

Constant cheers from the Eden crowd for Dhoni proved that Kolkata's heart still bleeds for the most successful Indian skipper.
