During the flight, Dhoni is said to have swapped his business class seat with an economy class passengers as the latter’s ‘legs were too long’ to fit in economy class seats.
A Twitter user by the name of George uploaded a video of the flight claiming the same. The man claiming so looked like a CSK staffer himself. The tweet was even liked by the official Twitter account of the Super Kings.
