Family first: Dhoni’s priorities
At 43 years old, Dhoni has transitioned from being one of cricket’s most celebrated players to a devoted family man. Since retiring from international cricket in 2020, he has made it a priority to spend quality time with his loved ones. The New Year celebration was just one of many instances where he has been seen cherishing moments with Sakshi and their daughter Ziva. Photos from the evening showed Dhoni in a casual printed shirt and trousers, radiating warmth as he posed with his family—a sight that delighted fans online.
Earlier in December, Dhoni had also embraced the festive spirit by dressing up as Santa Claus for Christmas, an act that further endeared him to fans. The images shared by Sakshi showcased their family’s joyful celebration, reinforcing the notion that despite his legendary status in sports, Dhoni remains grounded and connected to his roots.

While celebrating personal milestones is essential for Dhoni, his professional journey is far from over. As he prepares for the upcoming IPL 2025 season with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), fans are eager to see what this cricketing icon will bring to the pitch next. Retained as an uncapped player for INR 4 crores, there is speculation about whether this season will mark his final bow in professional cricket.
In recent interviews, Dhoni has expressed his desire to continue contributing to the sport while also emphasizing the importance of family support in his life. He mentioned how much it means to him when Sakshi acknowledges his achievements, stating, “I think a lot of people have complimented me, but my wife saying ‘you have done alright in life.”
As Dhoni danced into 2025 with Sakshi by his side, they not only celebrated the arrival of a new year but also showcased a beautiful narrative of love and family amidst fame. Their joyful moments serve as a reminder that behind every sports legend lies a person who values connections and cherishes life’s simple pleasures.
