India is struggling on the pitch, but that didn't deter Indian fans from thronging to The Oval on Day 2.
Amongst the fans, Justin Setterfield/Getty Images spotted one with a tattoo of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And the recent torrent of yellow during IPL 2023 is a testament of how loved the former Indian captain is.
Cheering on Rohit Sharma's men, an Indian fan showed off his tattoo of the World Cup-winning captain.
The tattoo was of MSD batting with the World Cup trophy inked next to the legendary cricketer, along with a cricket ball and the backdrop of the Indian flag. Scribbled alongside the images was, 'Cricket is life, everything else is just a game'.
