MSD, Shoaib Malik reunite with their families on Sakshi Dhoni’s birthday in Dubai

Former India cricketer MS Dhoni was recently involved in the 2020 IPL featuring for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). After playing non-stop cricket for almost two months, he is now on a vacation with his family in Dubai. Having retired from international cricket on August 15 this year, Dhoni is spending most of his time with wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva.

Dhoni’s vacation also coincided with his wife Sakshi’s birthday on Thursday (November 19). The family celebrated it to the fullest and they did it in the company of good friends – Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik, his wife Sania Mirza and her sister. Despite the fierce on-field rivalry between India and Pakistan, the cricketers are often seen mingling with each other off the field. And Dhoni and Malik are very good friends as well.

Sania Mirza posted a picture with the birthday girl and the Dhoni family in her Instagram story. They seemed to have celebrated Sakshi’s birthday together and the picture has gone viral now on social media. Sakshi also posted a picture with Dhoni on the occasion and the couple is looking adorable together.

Free time for MS Dhoni and Shoaib Malik

Dhoni is unlikely to play any domestic cricket now and will only feature in the IPL it seems. Moreover, he also confirmed that he will return to play for CSK next year. Meanwhile, Malik is also enjoying a break after the PCB dropped him from the T20I squad for New Zealand tour, after head coach Misbah-ul-Haq declared their intention to blood youngsters. The all-rounder has already retired from ODIs and Tests and is only playing the T20 format. He might hang his boots after the World Cup to be played next year.
