A short and adorable video of MS Dhoni is doing the rounds on social media, and fans can’t get enough of it. The clip was shared by former cricketer Saurabh Tiwary on Facebook, showing Dhoni playing with Tiwary’s young son, Sourish, in a gym.

Tiwary, who made his international debut under Dhoni’s captaincy back in 2010, has known Dhoni for years. They’ve played together for Jharkhand and in the IPL, so their bond goes way back.

The video, just 16 seconds long, is captioned “Mahi Bhaiya playing with my son Sourish.” It shows Dhoni smiling and having fun with the little boy – a moment that melted the hearts of many fans online. It’s a reminder of Dhoni’s gentle and humble nature off the field.

Tiwary recently retired from professional cricket in February 2024 after a solid domestic career. He played over 100 first-class matches and scored more than 8,000 runs. He’s now moved into cricket administration and is currently serving as the secretary of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association.

Although Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, he remains hugely popular. Moments like this one remind everyone why he’s still so loved not just for his skills and cool captaincy, but for being grounded and kind-hearted.

In IPL 2025, Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings didn’t have a great season and finished at the bottom of the table. While there are questions about whether he’ll continue playing, Dhoni hasn’t confirmed anything about retirement just yet.
