M.S. Dhoni rescued from fire breaks out at his Dwarka hotel!

Recently, Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was staying in a hotel in Delhi's Dwarka area. He survived a fire scare which took place today morning at the hotel named Welcome Hotel. He was staying there with his Jharkhand cricket teammates.

As per a famous tabloid, all the players were evacuated on time and are safe. The team is currently in Delhi to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Bengal. The match was supposed to be held today but has been postponed to Saturday.

The fire broke out in the ground-floor lobby of the hotel, while the players were staying on the seventh floor. Speaking about it to a popular sports channel, Ishank Jaggi, Jharkhand batsman specified, "We were to assemble in the lobby at 7:30 am as we usually do before a game, but at 7, I was asked to stay back in the room by Pratyush Singh as there was lot of fire and smoke at the ground floor lobby."

He further added, "It spread quite quickly and when we finally got out of our seventh-floor rooms, all we could see around us was smoke. It was so thick that we couldn’t even see the far end of the lobby."

The situation was brought under control soon as the fire alarm did not go off on time. He further told, "What added to our concern was the fire alarm didn’t go off, so we assumed it to be a small fire accident. But when there was a strong burning smell, we were asked to vacate immediately. The seriousness of it struck us only when we got out. The smoke spread to our rooms as well. That is when we were asked to run down the stairs."

Dhoni and the whole team of Jharkhand were taken to another hotel. The final match is scheduled on Sunday, but there is no confirmation about it yet.
