“Happy New Year 2023” – MS Dhoni welcomes New Year with daughter Ziva in style – WATCH
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni welcomed New Year 2023 in style with daughter Ziva. The father-daughter duo could be seen full of smiles as firecrackers lit up in the background.
Sharing a heartwarming video on Instagram, Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Singh wrote:
“Happy New Year 2023”
The former India captain was last seen celebrating Christmas with family and friends.
Dhoni retired as one of India’s most successful captains, having led the team for decades. India lifted the T20 World Cup 2007, World Cup 2011, and ICC Champions Trophy 2013 under his leadership. The Ranchi-born cricketer retired from international cricket in 2020.
The 41-year-old spends quality time with his family after retirement, but Dhoni is still active in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He will be in action for CSK in the upcoming edition of the IPL.
The veteran is likely to bid adieu to the IPL this season as the T20 extravaganza returns to the home and away season after three years in a complete sense of the term.
In an event last year, Dhoni said that he'll play his last T20 in Chennai.
"I have always planned my cricket, my last international game on home turf was in Ranchi, hopefully, my last T20 will be in Chennai. Whether it is next year or in five years, we do not know."
