Passenger shares video of MS Dhoni swapping seats with a passenger in economy

A passenger shared the act of humility of MS Dhoni captured in a video where he exchanged seats with a passenger in the economy who was uncomfortable because his long legs didn’t fit. The CSK captain offered his business class seat to the man to enjoy more legroom and himself went to sit in the economy class.

“When a man who’s seen it all, done it all in Cricket tells you, ‘Your legs are too long, sit in my seat (Business Class), I’ll sit in Economy.’ The skipper never fails to amaze me. @msdhoni”, the tweet read. 

Here’s the video:

In the video, MS Dhoni can be seen having a chat with Suresh Raina and some of his other CSK pals while sitting in the economy class. MSD has shown his humility on multiple occasions on and off the field and has always been shown utter respect for his attitude by his teammates and fans.
