Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni is celebrating his 41st birthday in the UK with family and friends today (July 7). The former Indian captain’s wife Sakshi shared a video of MSD cutting a cake to ring in his birthday.

Dhoni and Sakshi also celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary, which was on July 4, in the UK.

On Thursday, Sakshi took to her official Instagram handle to share a video of Dhoni cutting his birthday cake. The clip's caption said:

“Happy Bday ! ❤️.”

Actor Ranveer Singh, singer Guru Randhawa and CSK fans replied to the post, wishing the cricketer a happy birthday. Ranveer wrote:

“Love you, Mahi ! happiest birthday to you! Love and energy! 🕉❤️😍🙏🏽.”

Randhawa commented:

“Happy birthday to the one and only sir ❤️”

Apart from the video, Sakshi also shared a picture of MSD’s birthday celebrations on her Insta story. In the image, current Team India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant can be spotted amongst Dhoni’s family and friends.

MS Dhoni spotted at Wimbledon on birthday eve

The former Indian captain was spotted at Wimbledon 2022 on Wednesday enjoying the action between Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz. MS Dhoni was seen wearing a gray blazer and white shirt, and sporting black shades.

Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) official Twitter handle shared a picture of Dhoni and a friend from the stands at Wimbledon. The image was shared with the caption:

"Yellove All! 🦁viewing the 🐐! #ThalaAtWimbledon 🎾 #WhistlePodu 🦁💛."

Another former India captain, Sunil Gavaskar, was also seen among the crowd at Wimbledon on Wednesday.

We will get to see MS Dhoni in action again as the legend looks all set to represent CSK in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL). Asked whether he would return next year, MSD said during IPL 2022:

“Well, I think, definitely. It’s a simple reason. It will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you. Mumbai is one place where, as a team and as an individual, I have got a lot of love and affection. But, you know it won’t be nice to the CSK fans.”

The Indian keeper-batter is the only captain in history to win all three ICC white-ball titles. Dhoni lifted the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 50-over World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. He has also won four IPL titles with CSK.
