<p>Happy birthday, MS Dhoni! The venerable Indian skipper turned 42 on Friday, yet he is still one of the most talked-about cricketers. Despite retiring from international competition in 2020, Dhoni still has a sizable global fan base. The wicketkeeper batter continues to command Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, and he was a key component of the Yellow Army’s success in 2023 as they won the championship.</p>
<p>The captain of the 2011 World Cup champion team is renowned for his cool and collected demeanor on the field, but he maintains a rather quiet personal life and, unlike the other players, isn’t highly active on social media.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-61594″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-750×422.jpg” alt=”” width=”1562″ height=”879″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-750×422.jpg 750w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-1024×576.jpg 1024w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-768×432.jpg 768w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-390×220.jpg 390w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine-150×84.jpg 150w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/www.theindiaprint.com-when-ms-dhoni-turns-42-we-examine-his-personal-life-as-well-as-the-untold-story-pti05-20-2023-000348a-sixteen-nine.jpg 1200w” sizes=”(max-width: 1562px) 100vw, 1562px” /></p>
<p>Dhoni has more than 8.6 million followers, yet his last tweet was in 2021. He has a sizable 43.8 million Instagram followers, but his supporters must wait a long time to see him on the network. He last uploaded a video on Instagram in February.</p>
<p>Pan Singh and Devaki Devi welcomed the renowned cricket into the world on July 7, 1981 in Ranchi. He has a brother called Narendra Singh Dhoni and a sister named Jayanti Gupta.</p>
<p>He wed Sakshi Dhoni in 2010, and in 2015 the power couple had a daughter called Ziva. Interestingly, Ziva has a sizable fan base all around the world as well, but MS keeps his personal life extremely hidden when he is not playing. Sakshi and Ziva often visit the stadium in the meanwhile to cheer on MS from the stands during the Indian Premier League.</p>
<p>A biography of MS Dhoni was also produced, and it was released in 2016 and quickly became a major success. MSD was represented by the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput in the film.</p>
<p>The biography portrayed Dhoni’s development from a young child to the captain of the team that won the 2011 World Cup. In the MSD biography, his brother Narendra was not portrayed. Currently residing in Ranchi, where he was born, Narendra also often travels to his place of origin in Uttarakhand.</p>
<p>Dhoni is a big animal lover. The fact that Dhoni has four dogs—Sam, a Belgian Malinois; Lilly and Gabbar, two white huskies; and Zoya, a Dutch Shepherd—as pets is not particularly surprising. At his ranch near Ranchi, he also owns a pony by the name of Chetak and a parrot (honey).</p>
<p>He also has a sizable collection of bikes at his Ranchi residence.</p>
<p>The storied wicketkeeper is anticipated to play again in the Indian Premier League the following year. He said during the IPL 2023 championship game that he will make every effort to play one more season for his supporters.</p>
