Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always closely guarded his private life, despite being one of the high-profile celebrities in India. Hence, when something about MS Dhoni’s personal life is revealed, it becomes the biggest talking point on the social media. In his latest interaction, Mahi spilt the beans about his first crush, and it is not his wife Sakshi Dhoni or even his late girlfriend Priyanka Jha. So, who could it be? What is the name of the girl on whom star Indian cricketer had a huge crush on during his school time? All your questions are answered in this video by the very man who usually shies away from speaking much about his personal life.

Former Indian skipper is currently leading his IPL side Chennai Super Kings in the 2018 edition. As a part of sponsor commitments, he along with some other CSK teammates like Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja attended an event organised by Gulf Oil in Chennai. The presenter happening to be a ‘mentalist’ asked the players along with sitting audience to join in some fun mental tricks. It was here when Dhoni was asked a question, totally anticipated by the Chennai Super Kings leader. The presenter asked him about his first crush and what her name was!

After a round of good guesswork, the presenter zeroed upon MS Dhoni’s first crush to be – Swati. The 36-year-old wicket-keeper batsman admitted the answer to be right and that he indeed had a crush on a girl named Swati whom he last saw back in 1999 studying in standard 12th in DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Shyamali, Ranchi. A blushing Dhoni repeatedly requested the presenter to not tell Sakshi about it! How cute is that? Pulling his leg in the fun segment, the presenter informed Dhoni that Swati was sitting in the audience and asked some to bring her to the stage. But much to his relief, the mentalist was only kidding.

Fans have known about MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi Singh Rawat’s love story. The two had met for the first time in 2008 at the Taj Bengal in Kolkata where Sakshi was interning. She had failed to recognise Dhoni being a star Indian cricketer when they first met. Nevertheless, the two fell in love, and after dating for two years Mahi and Sakshi tied the knot in 2010 in a private wedding. They are now parents of three-year-old daughter Ziva born in 2015.

As for Priyanka Jha, we came to know about her in Dhoni’s biographical movie ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’. She was Dhoni’s first girlfriend much before Sakshi entered the cricketer’s life. Dhoni and Priyanka’s love story was tragically cut short after she died in a road accident. With now MSD revealing about his school crush, we guess there’s still a lot to know about our favourite cricketer.
