Watch: MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi shares birthday video

As the former India cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MSD) celebrates his 41st birthday on Thursday, wife of the cricketer, Sakshi Singh shared a glimpse of the celebrations at home.

Sakshi took to her Instagram handle and shared a video of MSD blowing candles and cutting a cake. Sporting a jacket with sleeves pulled up exactly like he used to do in the cricket matches, MS reminded fans of the younger Dhoni when he used to smash bowlers out of the park in almost every other match.

The sparkling candles burning in front of him reminded fans of the spark of motivation and resilience he brought into the dressing room and subsequently into the field that helped him win many ICC tournaments.

The video shared by Sakshi got liked by 1.1 million fans in just 15 hours of its post. Watch the video below:

It was Dhoni's cool and composed nature that made him an icon with India’s youth. A small town boy from Ranchi went on to become one of the best captains and wicketkeepers in the world.

The ‘Captain Cool’ with the Midas Touch has had an eventful career. After making his debut in 2004, Dhoni represented India in 350 ODIs with the individual highest score of 183 against Sri Lanka.

Under Dhoni's stewardship, India clinched the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy titles. He is the only skipper in the world to have successfully led his team in winning all the three major ICC tournaments.

After retiring from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni was last seen in action for CSK in the last edition of Indian Premier League held this year.
