[Watch] "Yeh eggless hai" - MS Dhoni comments after cutting cake on 43rd birthday
Former Team India captain and one of the legends of cricket, MS Dhoni, is celebrating his 43rd birthday on Sunday, July 7. On the special occasion, he cut a birthday cake in the presence of his wife Sakshi and a few others [possibly family and friends], who are not seen in the video but can be heard cheering him on. At the end of the clip, he's heard informing everyone that the cake is eggless.
Born on July 7, 1981, in Jharkhand, Dhoni rose from humble beginnings to make his name as one of the biggest stars in the game of cricket. He remains a hot favorite among fans despite international retirement due to his humble nature. Every year, his birthday his celebrated with great fervor by fans across India.
Dhoni's better half Sakshi has shared a video on Instagram where the cricket legend is seen cutting his birthday cake. Sakshi is also seen having some fun in the clip as she touches her hubby's feet in a lighthearted moment, while the birthday boy reacts by giving her his blessings.
The video ends with Dhoni making a remark about the cake he just cut:
"Yeh eggless hai (This is eggless)."
Sakshi chips in and adds that all the cakes ordered are eggless. A number of people in India are pure vegetarians, who don't consume cakes with egg.
MS Dhoni recently attended the sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant
Just a couple of days ahead of his 43rd birthday, Dhoni attended the grand sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. Apart from the former India captain, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, Zaheer Khan and Shreyas Iyer also attended the Ambani function.
There was an interesting moment at the sangeet ceremony as a mediaperson reminded Dhoni that his birthday was coming up soon. The star Chennai Super Kings cricketer, who was heading away after posing for photos, turned back after hearing the remark and cheekily asked the person to bring a gift for him.
Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, having last represented the country in the 2019 ODI World Cup in England.
In a stellar career, he played 538 international games across the three formats, amassing 17266, with 16 hundreds and 108 half-centuries. As captain, he led India to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy.
