MS Dhoni ditches flight for train ride after 13 yearsIndia’s legendary captain, MS Dhoni has seen it all. Right from being rejected in the under-19 selection to being one of the most successful captains that the world has ever produced. Calling him a the greatest of all time would not be too wrong for what he has done, only a few have managed to achieve.

While the much loved Captain Cool decided to step down as captain and decided to hand Virat Kohli the baton, us fans can never stop chanting Dhoni Dhoni every time he will be on field. While the Indian Cricket Team is locking horns in a four match test series with Australia, both Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are playing the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

In an unexpected turn of events, Mahi decided to give his several rides at home a miss and opted for a train ride with his other teammates. He boarded the Hatia-Ranchi-Howrah express at around 9:45 PM on Tuesday night and passengers couldn’t have been happier.

He was asked to take a 60-minute flight instead but he refused and said that as captain, he should travel with his teammates. Dhoni’s teammates were also awestruck and did not expect him to share a train ride. He shared an image on Instagram with his teammates and the picture received around 4 lakhs likes in a mere one and a half days.

The train ride must have surely reminded him of his days as a ticket collector at the Kharagpur Railway station. Mahi, the man has come a long way since then. From being the six hitting machine to the best captain India has ever produced, Dhoni left no stone unturned.
