After travelling by train, MS Dhoni does something which many cricketers would rarely do

MS Dhoni is away from international cricket ever since the England series and he is not missing any of the action. The most successful Indian captain is happy to be close to his roots. From travelling with the Jharkhand team by train to not staying in five star hotels, Dhoni is doing it all, 'the Mahi way'.

The Jharkhand lad, who spent a chunk of his life at Kharagpur where he used to work as a ticket collector for The South Eastern Railway, is making most of his time in meeting his old friends and colleagues. Just the other day he met a tea seller named Thomas. It was this very chaiwala whose shop Dhoni used to visit while working in Kharagpur.

Thomas had come to Kolkata, where Dhoni is at the moment for his Vijay Hazare Trophy commitments. He was instantly surprised as Dhoni not only recognised him at a flash but also took him to his hotel and treated him to a dinner. 

Thomas was obviously overjoyed by Dhoni’s gesture and reportedly said that he would now go back to Kharagpur and rename his shop as ‘Dhoni Tea Stall.’

Dhoni also invited eleven of his friends to his hotel and treated them in the best possible way.  That's why there is so much to learn from Dhoni. He is not only a great cricketer but also a great human being.
