MS Dhoni's birthday celebrations began early on Thursday as the Indian legend celebrated the special day with his family and friends in the United Kingdom. Dhoni took time to celebrate his birthday with his wife Sakshi, daughter Ziva and a close circle of friends.
Sakshi shared the midnight birthday celebrations of Dhoni's 41st birthday. MS Dhoni could be seen cutting the cake in the presence of his family and friends. Meanwhile, Indian star Rishabh Pant was also spotted at the celebrations. Pant is also in the United Kingdom currently with the Indian team as they are engaged in an all-format series against the hosts. Sakshi also shared the picture of MS Dhoni with all his friends in which Pant can be seen.
While Dhoni is celebrating his birthday away from all the spotlight, it's a showy affair on social media, which is abuzz with #HappyBirthdayMSDhoni posts. His former teammates and the current ones sent out late-night tweets, wishing him on a special day.
MS Dhoni's cool demeanour and poker face in tough, pressure situations became part of cricketing folklore.
Dhoni used his cricketing wits and smarts to help India win the 2011 ODI World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy. No other man has captained his country to victory in all 3 ICC tournaments.
A small-town boy from Ranchi developed himself to become the best captain and wicketkeeper in the world. It was Dhoni's cool and composed nature that made him an icon of India's youth.
