In a light-hearted moment, cricket legend MS Dhoni shared an amusing incident involving his wife, Sakshi. The former Indian captain, known for his quick reflexes and expertise in stumping, found himself unexpectedly challenged by Sakshi’s interpretation of the rules during a televised match.
As Dhoni described, they were watching an international game when a batter, stepping out to hit a wide ball, was stumped. While Dhoni knew the rules, Sakshi confidently disagreed, asserting the umpire had made an error by calling the batter out.
The Unusual Cricket Debate
Dhoni recounted the playful debate, noting that cricket is rarely a topic of discussion between him and Sakshi. However, this time, she was firm in her stance, insisting the batter should not have been stumped since the ball was wide.
Despite Dhoni’s attempts to clarify that a stumping is legitimate on a wide ball (not on a no-ball), Sakshi continued, predicting the batter would be called back. As the batter walked back to the pavilion, Sakshi remained convinced, saying, “They’ll call him back.” When the new batter appeared, she humorously added, “Something’s wrong.”
Dhoni’s Love for the Game Continues
The video of this incident, shared on social media, had fans in stitches, showcasing Dhoni’s humorous side and Sakshi’s spirited personality. Meanwhile, amidst speculation regarding his future in cricket, Dhoni hinted at his participation in the 2025 IPL season, expressing a desire to continue playing.
Since undergoing knee surgery after IPL 2024, he’s been enjoying time with his family and training. Dhoni’s light-hearted stories and enduring passion for the game have only strengthened fans’ admiration for the former captain, who continues to charm audiences both on and off the field.
