The Indian fans are yet to come out of the sweet memory of its cricket team’s historic Australia tour. After winning the Test series 2-1 earlier this month, Virat Kohli and his men won the bilateral ODI series 2-1 as well, after losing the first match in Sydney. India batted second on all three occasions and won the final two matches and former captain MS Dhoni played a crucial role in both games. He was also adjudged the Man of the Series.

Dhoni had his share of luck in the third ODI in Melbourne on Friday but made the best of the opportunity to register 87* as India chased down 231 with four balls and seven wickets to spare. It was an identical finish as compared to the second game in Adelaide. India won on that occasion by 6 wickets.

The ace wicket-keeper’s wife Sakshi Dhoni was as ecstatic as other Indian fans after the national team’s victory and besides congratulating the team, the former compared her husband to a “soldier” who fought “long and hard” in the glorious triumph.

Here’s Sakshi’s post:

Sakshi has always been known to be passionate and caring about her iconic husband. In the past, when critics had backed the move of removing Dhoni from the captaincy when he was not playing for the suspended Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the former had come to his defense, asking people to refrain from hurting people or it could boomerang at some stage in life. She has also been spotted in the stands enjoying her husband’s hard-hitting style of batting when playing for India.

Dhoni got hitched with Sakshi, who hails from Dehradun, in July 2010 and the two have a daughter named Ziva who was born when the cricketer was busy leading his team in the ICC World Cup of 2015.
