MS Dhoni was last seen in cricketing action during the Indian Premier League where he led CSK. Unlike the previous years, CSK had a below-par season as they finished outside the playoff positions for the first time ever. Dhoni has already announced his retirement from international cricket but made sure that he will continue for at least one season by saying “Definitely Not” when asked if he would retire after the 2020 IPL.

The family friends turned couple’s story

Sakshi and MS Dhoni got married in 2010 and their daughter Ziva was born in 2015. There have been a plethora of reports about the couple’s love story saying the two were childhood friends but Sakshi dismissed them a few years ago and revealed that the two had met in 2007 when Dhoni met Sakshi at a hotel where she was an intern. The two were not friends beforehand but their fathers were.

Sakshi had stated in an interview that in no way were they childhood friends because of their seven-year-gap. They got to know each other only in 2007 and by 2010 they were married.
