Speaking on a podcast, Saurav said that when he asked Dhoni to sign on the back of his jersey, he accidentally gave him a marker that didn’t work.

“I wanted MS Dhoni’s autograph on the back of my jersey. He asked me to bring a marker so he could sign. I ran to grab a marker and there were two markers, one open and one closed. I was in a hurry, so I grabbed the open one, which didn’t work, and gave it to him. “

Dhoni tried to sign with the marker, but it didn’t work. He joked about the quality of the score and before Saurav could get another score, Dhoni went himself and took another score.

‘Kya sasta marker le kar aa gaya hai tu yaha pe, chal bhi nahi raha.’ (Where did you get this cheap marker? It doesn’t even work.) Then, before I left to change the score, Dhoni himself went to get the other score and gave me his autograph,” Saurav added.
