MS Dhoni, a beloved figure in Indian cricket, has left an indelible mark on the sport. As captain, he played a pivotal role in Team India’s success, leading them to three ICC trophy victories, including the prestigious ODI World Cup in 2011. In addition to his contributions to the national team, Dhoni’s leadership and skills brought immense glory to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), leading them to five IPL titles, with the most recent triumph occurring in IPL 2023.
The bond between Dhoni and his wife Sakshi is truly heartwarming and always captures the admiration of fans across the country. Sakshi has consistently shown unwavering support for her husband and the CSK during the IPL.
A delightful video of Sakshi and Mahi has recently gone viral on social media, in which Sakshi playfully requests a hug from Dhoni for herself and their daughter Ziva. Mahi followed the instructions and the cute video is making waves on the internet.

Dhoni gets special compliment from Tom Moody
Former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody has commended the leadership skills of Dhoni for effectively nurturing and harnessing the potential of young talents like Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana during the team’s victorious IPL 2023 campaign. Moody expressed his admiration for the Indian cricket legend, stating that Dhoni possesses the exceptional ability to discover and refine promising talents.
Among the standout performers for CSK in their impressive campaign, pacers Deshpande and Pathirana shone brightly, claiming 21 and 19 wickets respectively.
“CSK have had many great campaigns, but this would have to be up there among their best. Given the circumstances of the squad they have – it’s not a squad that at the start of the season that you would think is bursting at the seams with a lot of experience and match-winning players. But, what it does have is a captain called MS Dhoni,” Moody was quoted as saying to ESPNCricinfo.
“What he does is provides that stability, leadership and guidance better than anyone in this format of the game. He manages to draw the very best of whether it be a senior player like a [Ajinkya] Rahane or he helps develop a player like [Shivam] Dube to play above a level that he’s never been before. He manages to unearth and polish rough diamonds like Deshpande and Pathirana. MS Dhoni is the master at doing it,” added the cricketer-turned coach.
