Sakshi Dhoni: The over-the-top celebration of Sakshi Dhoni in the VIP box at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium has won the hearts of cricket fans across the world.
In the now viral video, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was seen watching the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup between India and England along with his wife Sakshi, Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh among others.

Sakshi Dhoni-Turn Of Events
The incident happened during the 18th over of England’s inning that was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah. The bowler stopped a powerful straight drive in his follow-through that first hit the ground before falling into the hands of Bumrah.
In the intensity of the moment, Sakshi started jumping in joy assuming that Bumrah has legally caught the batsman.
Captain Cool Dhoni urged his wife to calm down and delivered a classic Mahendra Singh Dhoni reaction. The gesture immediately triggered laughter from the guests and celebrities in the enclosure.
Sanju Samson And Shivam Dube Shine
In the match, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube – both of whom would play under the Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – helped Team India win the match. Samson scored 89 runs off just 42 balls while Dube scored 43 from 25 balls.
England gave team India a tough fight and lost the match by just 7 runs despite India scoring a massive 253 runs. Jacob Bethell, the 22-year-old sensation from England, scored a scintillating 105 runs off 48 balls. India would now face Team New Zealand on March 8 in Ahmedabad.

Another user commented, “It’s these light-hearted moments in cricket that make the match even more enjoyable.”
