WATCH: Dhoni in viral video with son of star cricketer who played for Nita Ambani’s MI
Former India captain MS Dhoni is enjoying his off season these days. The 43-year-old has retired from all formats of the game apart from the IPL. He was part of the IPL 2025 season but his Chennai Super Kings side finished in 10th and last position.
On Tuesday, a heartwarming video featuring Dhoni went viral on social media. In the video, Dhoni is seen working out in a gym in Ranchi and seen interacting with former India and Jharkhand teammate Saurabh Tiwary’s son. Tiwary shared a 16-second video on Facebook where Dhoni can be seen playfully interacting with his young son, Sourish, in a gym.

Tiwary captioned the video, ‘Mahi Bhaiya playing with my son Sourish’ soon went viral. In the video, Dhoni is seen playing with the young boy, charming him with his personality. Tiwary and Dhoni played international cricket together and both represented Jharkhand Cricket Association in first-class cricket as well.
In fact the Jharkhand southpaw had made his international debut under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. However, Tiwary played in only 3 ODI matches for Team India.
The 35-year-old from Ranchi turned out in six seasons in IPL for Nita Ambani’s Mumbai Indians franchise. In 93 matches in IPL, Tiwary notched up 1494 runs with 8 fifties to his name.
He also scored 8076 runs in 116 first-class matches at an average of 47.22 with 22 centuries to his name. After his retirement, Tiwary has become the secretary of Jharkhand State Cricket Association recently.
Meanwhile, Dhoni was retained for Rs 4 crore as an uncapped player ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction last year. Dhoni is classified as an ‘uncapped’ player now because he last played international cricket for India more than 6 years back in 2019.
In the IPL 2025 season, Dhoni only managed to score 196 runs in 14 matches with a top-score of 30 not out with a strike-rate of 135.17. Overall in IPL, Dhoni has played in 278 matches and scored 5439 runs with 24 fifties.
