The former captain of the Indian cricket team, MS Dhoni, is relishing his time away from the cricket field following his successful leadership of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to their fifth IPL title in IPL 2023.
Fondly known as ‘Captain Cool,’ Dhoni has been frequently spotted spending quality time with his family and celebrating his birthday with his dogs at his farmhouse recently. However, recently, a video of him travelling on a flight with his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, went viral on social media.

In the video, Dhoni can be seen peacefully sleeping in his seat while an air hostess recorded it. She expresses her excitement at having the Chennai Super Kings skipper on board. However, the video has drawn criticism from Dhoni’s fans, who believe it invaded his privacy.
Dhoni’s popularity has soared to great heights during IPL 2023. During one flight, a pilot even made a special announcement requesting Dhoni to continue captaining CSK in the coming years and dispel any thoughts of retiring.
Many fans had assumed IPL 2023 would be Dhoni’s last season, leading them to flock to the stadiums to witness their beloved ‘Thala’ in action one final time. However, much to their delight, Dhoni announced that he would return to the field for the 2024 season as a gesture of gratitude to his admirers for their unwavering support.
In another viral video, Dhoni was offered chocolates by an air hostess on a flight and was seen playing Candy Crush. Despite retiring from international cricket four years ago, Dhoni’s fan base and love across India have continued to grow.
Overall, MS Dhoni is enjoying a well-deserved break from cricket, cherishing time with his family, and remains adored by his fans both on and off the field.
