Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi have traveled to Mussoorie to attend the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister. Sakshi Pant is marrying Ankit Choudhary. They got engaged last year, marking nine years of their relationship.
Dhoni’s visit comes before he is set to participate in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for Chennai Super Kings. The team, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, will begin their IPL campaign against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk Stadium.
While it’s uncertain if this will be Dhoni’s last IPL season since his retirement from international cricket in 2020, discussions about his IPL future continue. He has led CSK to five IPL titles.
For the 2025 season, CSK retained Dhoni as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore. New IPL rules allow teams to retain uncapped players who haven’t played international cricket in five years.
Since retiring from international cricket, Dhoni has focused on the IPL. In the 2024 season, he scored 161 runs in 11 innings for CSK, with a high strike rate of 220 and an average of 53.66, often acting as a finisher.
Dhoni ranks as the sixth-highest run-scorer in IPL history, with 5,243 runs in 264 matches, including 24 half-centuries. Besides CSK, he also played for the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant.
