She was born the last time the Indian team was in Australia and as Ziva Dhoni turned four, her father MS Dhoni is once again finishing up a tour Down Under.
Sakshi Dhoni and MS Dhoni’s four-year-old toddler celebrated her birthday today, 6 February, in Ranchi with her mother and grandparents. Her father, was playing the T20I series opener against New Zealand.
In fact, when she was born, so focussed was MS Dhoni on leading India’s campaign in the 2015 World Cup that he didn't even answer the call when Sakshi called to give him the good news. Dhoni revealed to Rajdeep Sardesai that his wife was forced to call Suresh Raina who then relayed the news to him.
A regular feature on the sidelines during her father’s matches, Ziva Dhonisaw wishes pour in for her on social media. In fact, there was even a poster in the stadium in New Zealand during India’s T20, wishing the birthday girl.
