No matter where MS Dhoni goes, the crowd always follows and it became evident once again when his fans mobbed him while he was on a jungle safari. The former India skipper was recently spending some quality time in Madhya Pradesh. Earlier this week, he went on a tiger safari at Mukkee Range of Kanha National Park.

As per reports, he was drawn to the jungle by a recent viral video of two tigers fighting it out over a mate. Reports claim that the legendary cricketer managed to spot a tiger and it was the first time he saw one in the wild. MS Dhoni was accompanied by his wife Sakshi and close relatives and friends during the tour.

But while MS Dhoni would have hoped to spend some peaceful time in the jungle, he was in for a major surprise. As soon as news of his arrival leaked, fans rushed to get a glimpse of the legend. In a video that has been going viral on internet, more than a dozen of fans could be seen rushing towards the jeep in order to take selfies with the cricketer.

The crowd was getting so unruly that the security officials had to step in to ensure things remain under control.

Here is the clip of that moment when fans mobbed him for selfies:

Meanwhile, the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has not played any form of cricket for India or for his domestic team since the end of the World Cup in July. He is unlikely to play for India any time soon. He has also been dropped from BCCI’s central contracts list.

Neither the team-management nor the BCCI has given any concrete update on his future. Recently, head coach Ravi Shastri tried to make things a bit clear by stating that MS Dhoni is likely to retire from ODIs soon but could be in contention to play the T20 World Cup if he does well in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
