MS Dhoni Celebrates Dussehra With Friends And Family

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni celebrated Dussehra on Thursday (October 2) with his friends and family, enjoying some quality time away from the cricket field. The veteran has been on a break since the conclusion of IPL 2025, where he even stepped in as captain for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after Ruturaj Gaikwad was sidelined due to injury.

It turned out to be a tough season for CSK, who finished at the bottom of the table for the first time in their history. Dhoni himself managed 196 runs in 14 matches, averaging 24.50 with a strike rate of 135.17. On the festive occasion, Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Singh Dhoni shared a collage of pictures on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of his celebration.

Shikhar further added:

“The qualities of a leader were very evident in him, and of course, with time and experience, those qualities only grew stronger. He has supported me a lot. He gave me a lot of support. And He knew that even if it wasn’t working at the moment, this player has the potential to deliver, to win the match.”
