MS Dhoni’s daughter, Ziva, delighted fans with a touching Father’s Day video on Instagram on Sunday, June 16. In the adorable clip the former Indian cricket captain is seen in a relaxed and joyful mood, spending quality time with his daughter and their dogs. Ziva, the only daughter of MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi, captioned the video with a simple yet heartfelt “Familia ❤️🧿.”
Born in February 2015, Ziva often shares glimpses of her family life, which offers fans a rare look into the personal life of the cricket legend. Given Dhoni’s absence from social media, these posts by Ziva are eagerly anticipated by his admirers, providing them with updates and insights into his off-field life. The recent video once again allowed fans to connect with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) icon in a more personal and intimate way.
Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2025?
While the video itself was heartwarming, it also reignited discussions about Dhoni’s cricketing future, especially concerning his participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In IPL 2024, despite Dhoni’s presence CSK did not make it to the final four, leading to widespread speculation that this might have been his last appearance in the tournament. Despite these rumors, neither Dhoni nor the CSK franchise has issued any official statements regarding his retirement from the IPL.
Adding to the speculation, before the start of IPL 2024, Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. This move was perceived by many as a significant indicator of Dhoni’s potential exit from the league, as the team looks to build for the future. With a mega-auction scheduled ahead of IPL 2025, CSK’s management might be focusing on assembling a squad for the long term, which could mean moving forward without their long-time skipper.
At 42 years old and having battled injuries, Dhoni’s continued presence in the IPL remains uncertain. His contributions to CSK and Indian cricket are unparalleled, and his potential retirement would mark the end of an era.
