Today, the former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is celebrating his 37th birthday and there are no surprises to the fact that a plethora of wishes have been pouring in from all corners for him. Often hailed as one of India’s best limited-overs cricketers, Dhoni celebrated his birthday alongside his family and teammates.
In a video which went viral on various social media platforms, Dhoni can be seen blowing candles and cutting the cake with his family and the Indian team. It is followed by the team’s ‘cake smearing’ ritual. Even Virat Kohli was spotted with his wife Anushka Sharma on the occasion.
