Dhoni's childhood infatuation: Who was the young girl that caught Dhoni's heart?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the legendary former Indian cricket captain and two-time World Cup winner, celebrated his 44th birthday on Monday in his hometown of Ranchi. The birthday celebration took place at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) premises, where a short clip of Dhoni looking fit and composed went viral on social media.
Despite the private nature of his birthday celebrations, Dhoni was surrounded by a handful of staff members, including JSCA president Ajay Nath Shahdeo. The event was kept low-key, with no big lights or Bollywood faces present, reflecting Dhoni's preference for a low-key lifestyle.
Dhoni's story remains endlessly fascinating and still very much in the making. His humility and achievements continue to command respect from fans and colleagues alike. The birthday celebration comes amidst speculation about Dhoni's potential return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year. In a recent interview, Dhoni stated that he would take five to six months to decide on whether he'll return for the 2026 IPL season.
Chennai Super Kings fans are eager to see Dhoni once again don the Yellow jersey and lead them to a sixth IPL crown. This year, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, further cementing his place in cricket history.
On a personal note, Dhoni and his wife Sakshi celebrated 15 years of marriage days before his birthday. Sakshi posted an unseen photo of the two on their anniversary, with a heartfelt caption.
In other news, Dhoni recently filed a trademark for his moniker 'Captain Cool' with the Trade Marks Registry. The trademark application has already been approved, adding another layer to Dhoni's enduring legacy both on and off the field.
While Dhoni is known for being private about his personal life, there have been no widespread reports of a recent confession about his childhood crush.
