MS Dhoni once again showed why he remains one of the most loved figures in cricket, not just for his on-field brilliance but also for his grounded personality. The former Chennai Super Kings captain was recently seen sharing a heartwarming moment with Sarfaraz Khan’s young son during a training session in Chennai, a clip that has quickly gone viral across social media platforms.
In the video shared by Sarfaraz Khan on Instagram, Dhoni is seen playfully interacting with the one-year-old, tossing a ball and engaging in a light-hearted exchange. It’s a side of Dhoni fans rarely get to see in match situations, where he is known for his calm and composed leadership. Moments like these, however, highlight the human side of the legendary cricketer, drawing admiration from fans who flooded the comments with praise.

Sarfaraz’s journey into IPL 2026 also carries a personal milestone. The Mumbai batter became a father on October 21, 2024, just days after scoring his maiden Test century — a brilliant 150 against New Zealand in Bengaluru. The timing made it a memorable phase in his life, both professionally and personally.
