Watch: Cabin crew offers tray of sweets to MS Dhoni, video goes viral

One of India's most popular cricketers, MS Dhoni, can possibly never step out in the country without getting noticed.

This time, he was aboard a plane when cabin crew realised that the former skipper was flying with them.

Wasting no time, a member of the crew put together a tray filled with chocolates, biscuits and dry fruit.

The video then shows her walking over to the cricketer as she offers him the tray.

Taken by surprise, Dhoni graciously puts down his iPad – on which he was seen playing the popular game Candy Crush – to speak to the crew.

Adorned with all kinds of snacks, the tray is absolutely full when the air hostess sets it down on the tray table of the seat next to his.

Dhoni then kindly thanks the lady, along with other crew (who cannot be seen in the frame). She also hands him a note, which he reads immediately, and continues to thank her.

The athlete then picks up a packet of dates from the tray and returns the rest to the cabin crew with a bright smile on his face.

Dhoni, is known to keep his cool off the field and in the game as well. In fact, he has many nicknames including "Captain Cool" and "Thala", which means "leader" in Tamil, the language of Chennai.
