Watch: MS Dhoni visits Ranchi's Maa Dewri Temple, shares heartwarming moment with Ziva and Sakshi

Former India cricket captain MS Dhoni was recently seen visiting the Maa Dewri temple in Ranchi along with his wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva. In a video widely shared online, Dhoni is seen dressed simply, as he walk quietly into the temple premises. Sakshi and Ziva walk alongside, and the family seems to be enjoying a rare moment away from the public eye and cricket grounds.

In the video, there’s a light-hearted moment during the rituals. Dhoni went first and cracked a coconut as part of the puja. When Sakshi tried, she couldn’t manage it properly, so Dhoni stepped in with a smile, took the coconut from her, and broke it without any fuss. Little Ziva then joined in and completed the ritual too.

The Maa Dewri temple is popular among locals, and Dhoni’s regular visits there over the years highlight how important Ranchi and its traditions are for him.

CSK had a tough IPL season this year, finishing at the bottom of the table — a rare sight for the five-time champions who are known for their consistency and fighting spirit. Throughout the tournament, there was constant chatter about Dhoni’s age and whether his form was slipping. Despite all the talk, fans stayed loyal and now wait anxiously to see if their beloved captain cool will return in yellow next year.

For now, Dhoni has stayed silent about what lies ahead.
