Former India skipper and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) icon MS Dhoni celebrated his 44th birthday on Monday, July 7, by taking part in an environmental drive through a sapling plantation. He was accompanied by his former IPL teammates Saurabh Tiwary and Monu Singh for the event.
The moment was captured in a video shared by the Instagram handle @whistlepoduarmy, featuring Dhoni in a sleeveless black tank top, dark blue pants, and white sports shoes. You can watch the video here:

In a separate update, MS Dhoni—India’s two-time World Cup-winning captain—recently drew attention for filing a trademark application for his well-known nickname, “Captain Cool.” According to Live Law, the application, initially submitted in June 2023, was “accepted and advertised” by the Kolkata office of the Trademarks Registry in June 2025.
The trademark was then published in the official journal on June 16, triggering a 120-day period during which objections can be raised. If no objections are filed within this timeframe, the trademark will move forward to formal registration.
