When a fan tried to touch feet of Dhoni, he first took the flag from him so that it doesn't touch the floor.

When a fan ran towards the ground holding national flag in his hand. He was trying to touch feet of Mahi with flag in same hand.
First thing MS did was hold flag up.
That’s true respect to nation.
Team India, however, did not manage to win the game, but it definitely won hearts with its dedicated efforts till the last ball.
