Arguably the greatest ever wicket-keeper batsman to have graced the game of cricket, MS Dhoni will celebrate his 39th birthday on Tuesday (July 7). Born in 1981, the former Indian captain has guided the national team to many victories in his illustrious career so far. In fact, he is the only captain to date to lift the Champions Trophy, World Cup and T20 World Cup. Also, he is a proven nightmare for the bowlers with the bat in hand and his records speak for himself. Dhoni’s glovework is also second to none as not many batsmen can dare to leave the pitch when the Ranchi-born cricketer is behind behind the stumps. However, along with being a nemesis for the opposition, the talismanic cricketer is also a perfect father. Fans Trend #MSDhoniBirthday on Social Media As a Part of Pre-Celebrations of CSK Captain’s Birthday.

On February 6, 2015, Dhoni and his wife Sakshi were blessed with a baby girl and they named her Ziva. Unfortunately, the Ranchi-born cricketer couldn’t attend the birth of his first child as he was leading the Men in Blue in the 2015 World Cup in Australia. Nevertheless, Dhoni eventually went on to become an ideal father and courtesy social media, fans get to see the bond between the duo. The CSK captain isn’t one of the most active users of social media websites. However, he has posted numerous adorable pictures and videos with his little angle Ziva which will definitely give you father-daughter goals. Fans Wish MS Dhoni and Sakshi on Their 10th Wedding Anniversary.
