MS Dhoni finds solace and consistency in his dogs. Dhoni once said, “I have three dogs at home. The best thing is that [whether I win a series or lose one], they treat me the same way. They greet me in the same way. That really relaxes me.”
Dhoni’s affection for his pets is well known. A recent video highlights his love for his canine companions. A heartwarming video shows him spending quality time with his dog, while his daughter, Ziva Singh Dhoni, looks on.

The video, shared by Ziva, captures a tender moment. Dhoni sits on the floor, grooming a golden retriever. He wears a brown T-shirt and concentrates on brushing the dog’s fur. Ziva, wearing a white hoodie, observes the scene with interest. The backdrop suggests a comfortable setting, with a cushioned chair and decorative pillows visible. The golden retriever appears relaxed, looking directly at the camera.
Dhoni’s enduring popularity stems from both his cricketing achievements and his relatable personality. The video shared by Ziva provides a heartwarming glimpse into Dhoni’s life away from the pressures of professional cricket. It showcases his love for his family and pets, a side often unseen by the public.
His leadership has been instrumental in the Indian Premier League, guiding Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles. At 43, Dhoni remains a key player for CSK. The team retained him for Rs 4 crore for the IPL 2025 auction.
Dhoni’s 15-year cricket career is legendary. He captained India to three ICC trophies: the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Dhoni briefly mentored the Indian team during the 2021 T20 World Cup. His current focus is on CSK and life beyond cricket.
