MS Dhoni's Diwali photos go viral, fans thank his wife

Dubai: Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Diwali celebrations brought smiles to his fans' faces when his wife Sakshi shared a rare glimpse of the former India captain with their family through Instagram. In a simple post, Sakshi wrote "Happy Diwali" alongside pictures featuring herself, Dhoni, and their daughter Ziva. The photos quickly gained traction, with fans flooding the comments section to express their gratitude and appreciation for the family moments.

Dhoni, who typically maintains a low profile away from cricket, rarely appears in public social media posts. The share of these family pictures provided fans with fresh insights into Dhoni's personal life. "Thank you so much Maam for this post," one fan commented. Another expressed the need for more pictures like these, stating "Pure happiness in one frame!"

A third fan exclaimed, "Seeing Thala is the real Diwali gift." In Hindi, one comment read, "Iss se Achha Diwali Gift kya hi ho Sakta hai" (What can be a better gift than this).

The post garnered over 1.5 million likes within 24 hours. Dhoni, still one of Indian cricket's most followed figures, continues to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). While his appearance for the next IPL season remains uncertain, fans cherish any updates they receive about their beloved World Cup-winning captain. The Diwali pictures, however, offered fans a rare family update, with many eagerly hoping for more such moments from Sakshi in the future.
