MS Dhoni is one of the most decorated and greatest Indian cricketers. He retired from international cricket as the only captain to have won three major ICC white-ball titles: the T20 World Cup (in 2007), the ODI World Cup (in 2011) and the Champions Trophy (in 2013). Apart from this, Dhoni is also one of the most loved cricketers, and fans never miss a chance to catch a glimpse of the star. Recently, a family – fans of Dhoni – met him, his wife and daughter during a flight. As the family's excitement knew no bounds, one of them happily shared their experience of the meeting on Instagram, while also uploading a video of the interaction.
“Yes, we luckily met MS Dhoni sir, on a flight, but it is a dream come true for my husband and we got the best gift on my daughter's fourth birthday. Sakshi ma'am was so humble that she spoke to us like we were close to them, such a down to earth family… My daughter was a bit scared to sit with MS Dhoni sir, because sir was wearing a mask, and Sakshi ma'am was like he was very scary and he makes me also afraid, so she doesn't go to him… We are the happiest and my daughter is so happy and blessed,” one fan captioned the video.
MS Dhoni's retention by CSK dominated the headlines as the wicketkeeper-batsman was retained by the side for Rs 4 crore, under the uncapped player category.
Besides Dhoni, CSK retained captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (INR 18 crore), Matheesha Pathirana (INR 13 crore), Shivam Dube (INR 12 crore) and Ravindra Jadeja (INR 18 crore).
Notably, Dhoni led CSK to five titles before handing over the role to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of IPL 2024. However, CSK failed to reach the Playoffs that season under Gaikwad's leadership.
