The incident happened during the 3rd T20I between India and New Zealand in Hamilton. Ex-vice president of Dhoni's school, DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir in Ranchi, AK Singh isn't surprised by the India cricketer's beautiful gesture in respect of Indian tri-color.

Singh said Dhoni was always a patriotic and he credited his mother, who is his first teacher. 

The video of the 37-year-old snatching the Indian flag away from the fan and keeping it above ground had gone viral on Sunday.

"Mahi had patriotism in his soul and I am sure he is not only a youth icon but he is an ambassador of patriotism. In a match, he swiftly showed the respect of 132 crores fellow countryman. His immediate refection should be an example for educating youth not only for the job but most important duty towards mother Bharat Mata," Singh was quoted as saying by Deccan Chronicle.

The former vice-president added: "God bless my child Mahi. The whole country is full of pride by his recent act In New Zealand.

"This is an important aspect of Mahi's personality and patriotism... He had shown high discipline, dedicated attitude to any tasks as I am a witness of his journey of grooming and education at our school or our beautiful colony.

"First credit should be given to his mother (Devaki Devi) as she is the first teacher. In JVM Shyamali there are different assemblies as it is a big school. Students sing the National Anthem at a distance of 400 or 300 meters. All students stand in attention while the National Anthem is played. The students never look at the ground but sing the Anthem and visualizing the love for the country and the tricolor."
