Ziva Dhoni had quite a day at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on 5 June, as she made her debut appearance at the ICC World Cup. While daughter Ziva enjoyed herself in the stands, father Dhoni was seen joining forces with Rohit Sharma to chase down a target of 228 runs after a very slow start to the match.
Ziva is a regular supporter of her father as she is seen present at most of the matches to cheer the Indian contingent on. Being a regular part of the Chennai Super Kings’ squad, Ziva Dhoni was seen in full form at the Indian Premier League this year too.
When MS Dhoni walked out to bat for Chennai Super Kings against Delhi Capitals at the Feroz Shah Kotla, Ziva was seen chanting “GO PAPAAA” from the stands with mother Sakshi.
She managed to charm us at India’s first match of the tournament with this extremely adorable expressions.
