Meanwhile, A fan named Ajay Gill walked 1,400km to meet Dhoni. He was waiting outside the gate of MSD’s farmhouse at Simalia on the outskirts of Ranchi on Friday morning. As per reports suggest the fan was 18-year-old and he walked 1400km by foot from his village Jalan Kheda which is situated in Hisar district of Haryana. Ajay revealed that he walked 16 days starting from July 29 hoping that he will meet Dhoni at least for a very short period. However unfortunately it did not happen.
The reason behind MS Dhoni not meeting his fans as he was very far away from his hometown. Notably, MS Dhoni is in Chennai and is scheduled to travel to UAE for the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021).
Moreover, Ajay didn’t have any plans of returning before meeting Dhoni despite knowing that MS Dhoni won’t return for at least 2-3 months. However, a young businessman finally convinced him to go back and gave Ajay a ticket for a Delhi-bound flight.
