Sakshi Dhoni was beside him as always. Looking beautiful in a yellow sari, Sakshi joined her husband for the epic picture.

MS Dhoni lovingly called Mahi, is the only second Indian to reach the 1st position on LG’s ICC ODI batting rankings. It is also coincidental that Dhoni received this award on the same day that India won the world cup in 2011. The world cup was won under his captaincy. With the IPL round the corner, we are sure to see more of MS Dhoni in action.
