Dhaka, May 12 (IANS) Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the man with the long locks, is not only popular in India. His following in Bangladesh is no less, and it is visible everywhere he goes. With Sachin Tendulkar not in the team for the ODI series, Dhoni is easily the most sought after Indian player.

Fans, both males and females, pester him to sign autographs and pose for photographs, and they discuss about him in restaurants too.

A local family that went to Dhaka Sheraton hotel for dinner bumped into Dhoni as he was taking 'a stroll' in the hotel shopping centre along with his teammates.

They took Dhoni's autograph and clicked his photo on their mobile phone and later chatted excitedly about the debonair wicket-keeper over meal.
