While Dhoni was busy leading the Men In Blue in the recently concluded ICC Cricket World Cup, he and his wife, Sakshi Dhoni, were blessed with a baby girl.

MSD, in an interview to TOI, explained how badly he wanted to be there to see his newborn. “When she was born I was not in India, had not seen her. It was a tough period.”

Dhoni explained how Ziva has given him an everlasting smile, “She doesn’t care whether I play for my country or play for a good franchisee like Chennai. She wants to cry, she cries. It gives a very good feeling.”
