On July 4, 2025, the renowned Indian captain MS Dhoni and his spouse, Sakshi Singh Dhoni, commemorated their 15th wedding anniversary. Sakshi shared a straightforward and seldom social media message that went viral to commemorate the occasion.

In 2010, Sakshi Rawat and MS Dhoni were married in a private ceremony in Dehradun. Only a select handful were aware of the wedding, which was kept under wraps until the festivities ended. In 2015, they welcomed a daughter named Ziva into the world. Although Dhoni has avoided social media, Sakshi periodically posts pictures from their time in Ranchi.
Despite retiring from international cricket in August 2020, MS Dhoni remained a prominent figure in Indian cricket discourse as the couple achieved yet another marriage milestone. The only captain to accomplish so, the former captain of India guided the team to the Champions Trophy in 2013, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2007 T20 World Cup.
Is MS Dhoni going to play in the 2026 IPL?
Earlier this year, Dhoni was admitted into the ICC Hall of Fame. After Ruturaj Gaikwad was sidelined by injury in the 2025 Indian Premier League, Dhoni returned to captain the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Even so, CSK’s season did not go as expected, as they placed last in the standings. After the 2025 season, a lot of fans and former cricket players conjectured about Dhoni’s possible future in the IPL; he has not yet made a public announcement confirming his choice.
“It varies. I would reiterate: I have four to five months to make a decision; there is no rush to determine what must be done. Maintaining physical fitness requires 15% more work each year—not to mention that this is elite cricket. You have to be at your best in professional cricket, and performance isn’t always what matters because if cricket players start retiring for performance-based reasons, some of them will do so at the age of 22, MS stated.
“What matters is your level of hunger, your level of fitness, your ability to contribute to the team, and whether or not the team needs you. I have ample time, then. I’ll return to Ranchi, where I haven’t been in a while, go for a few bike rides, wait a few months, and then make a decision. I’m not claiming to be finished or to be returning. I have the luxury of time, as I mentioned. Why not consider it and make a decision when you have the luxury?” MS continued.
