Emotional MS Dhoni Opens Up On Sakshi’s Contribution In His Career

MS Dhoni tied the knot with Sakshi when he was at the peak of his batting and captaincy prowess. The boy wonder from Ranchi had the world at his feet when he married Sakshi in 2010. In that very year, he had led Chennai Super Kings to their maiden Indian Premier League title to further enhance his reputation.
In the following year, he entered his name in the record books after guiding India to the World Cup glory as well as Super Kings to the IPL title again. Everything that Dhoni was touching was turning it into gold. Things, however, soon changed as India started losing games after games on overseas tours.
In 2013, Dhoni experienced one of the darkest phases of his career after his name was dragged into the IPL spot-fixing scandal. But the fighter he is, Dhoni came out clean from all the allegations and one person who stood alongside him through thick and thin is Sakshi Dhoni.
The former India skipper spoke about Sakshi’s contribution to his game in Hotstar’s docudrama ‘Roar of the Lion’. In the docudrama, Dhoni opened up on the allegations of match fixing that were levied against him, the comeback and much more.
“I feel Sakshi’s contribution to my cricket is very important in its own way wherever and however she can chip in. I always felt she was always there for all of that,” said MS Dhoni.
Dhoni, nonetheless, led Chennai Super Kings to a fairytale title last year in the team’s comeback season. Despite being written off, the Super Kings overcame all the odds to win the title and became just the second team to win IPL thrice.
The Super Kings will be looking to go all the way this season too after retaining most of the players from last season. They will start their title-defence against Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 23 at Chepauk.
