Former India captain MS Dhoni is enjoying his off season these days. The 43-year-old has retired from all formats of the game apart from the IPL. He was part of the IPL 2025 season but his Chennai Super Kings side finished in 10th and last position.
On Tuesday, a heartwarming video featuring Dhoni went viral on social media. In the video, Dhoni is seen working out in a gym in Ranchi and seen interacting with former India and Jharkhand teammate Saurabh Tiwary's son. Tiwary shared a 16-second video on Facebook where Dhoni can be seen playfully interacting with his young son, Sourish, in a gym. Watch MS Dhoni with Saurabh Tiwary's son Sourish HERE…
Tiwary captioned the video, 'Mahi Bhaiya playing with my son Sourish' soon went viral. In the video, Dhoni is seen playing with the young boy, charming him with his personality. Tiwary and Dhoni played international cricket together and both represented Jharkhand Cricket Association in first-class cricket as well.
In fact the Jharkhand southpaw had made his international debut under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. However, Tiwary played in only 3 ODI matches for Team India.
The 35-year-old from Ranchi turned out in six seasons in IPL for Nita Ambani's Mumbai Indians franchise. In 93 matches in IPL, Tiwary notched up 1494 runs with 8 fifties to his name.
He also scored 8076 runs in 116 first-class matches at an average of 47.22 with 22 centuries to his name. After his retirement, Tiwary has become the secretary of Jharkhand State Cricket Association recently.
Meanwhile, Dhoni was retained for Rs 4 crore as an uncapped player ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction last year. Dhoni is classified as an 'uncapped' player now because he last played international cricket for India more than 6 years back in 2019.
In the IPL 2025 season, Dhoni only managed to score 196 runs in 14 matches with a top-score of 30 not out with a strike-rate of 135.17. Overall in IPL, Dhoni has played in 278 matches and scored 5439 runs with 24 fifties.

ENG vs IND, 1st Test: Shubman Gill's new India hurt by old flaws in Leeds heartbreak
It was truly a baptism by fire for Shubman Gill in his Test captaincy debut. India lost a match they could have—and perhaps should have—won, despite racking up over 800 runs across two innings, fuelled by four centurions and a five-wicket haul from their pace spearhead. Yet, as a new era of Indian Test cricket began, they were once again undone by familiar frailties that have plagued them in the past. England, it must be said, made light work of a daunting 371-run target on the final by their fearless brand of cricket—popularly dubbed 'Bazball'—England pulled off their second-highest successful run chase in Test history to go 1-0 up in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. While India contributed to their own downfall with lapses in key moments, England stood tall when it mattered most. Ben Duckett's sensational 149 in the fourth innings was the centrepiece as England chased down the target with five wickets to spare, scoring at a brisk 4.38 runs per over. | Leeds Test Day 5 Highlights |Shubman Gill couldn't have asked for a wilder initiation in his first Test as captain. Over the course of a fiercely contested five days at Headingley, he witnessed nearly every shade of Test cricket: India's top order fired, he silenced his doubters with a maiden century in the much-debated SENA conditions, his vice-captain struck a double hundred, but his bowling unit failed to function as a collective, his fielders turned in one of their poorest performances in recent memory, and his lower middle-order folded quicker than some of those ferrying drinks onto the Old problems resurfaced for India. Much like Rohit Sharma was criticised for overusing Jasprit Bumrah during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year, Gill too found himself leaning heavily on the world's premier fast bowler as the rest of the attack looked ineffective. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna arrived in England off the back of a solid IPL, yet failed to offer Bumrah the support he desperately needed. India's choice of all-rounder in Shardul Thakur also backfired—he neither delivered with the bat nor offered the control expected with the pressure is now squarely on Gautam Gambhir, who has lost six out of his first eleven Tests as head coach. Several of his selection calls will come under scrutiny, and with the early advantage handed to Ben Stokes and his men, the road ahead in this high-stakes series is only set to get steeper.- Ends

"Bumrah is a great player": Yograj Singh hails seamer after his first innings performance in Leeds Test against England
Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], June 20 (ANI): Former cricketer Yograj Singh lauded the right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah for his exceptional performance in the first innings of the ongoing Leeds Test at Headingley against England. Bumrah's performance helped India secure a slender six-run lead after England were bowled out for 465 by the end of the second session. He once again emerged as a one-man army for India, registering a five-wicket haul to achieve a slender lead of six runs over England at the end of the second session, bundling them out for 465 runs. Speaking to the ANI about Bumrah, Yograj said, 'If the Indian team needs to be improved, the four bench strength need to be powerful, for which four teams need to be formed, for which, in turn, domestic cricket must be mandated for all... When domestic cricket, apart from IPL, is improved, we will rule the world... This team will return victorious... Bumrah is a great player...' With his latest performance, Bumrah now has 12 five-wicket hauls in away Tests, equalling the legendary Kapil Dev, but in nearly half the matches (Bumrah in 34, Kapil in 66). Notably, Bumrah has five four-wicket hauls in Australia, three in England, three each in England and South Africa, and two in the West Indies. Only two of his five-wicket hauls have come in India. This is Bumrah's 10 five-wicket haul in SENA nations, becoming the first-ever Indian to touch this figure. Two more five-wicket hauls will take him above Pakistan legend Wasim Akram (11 SENA fifers). Bumrah has taken This is Bumrah's 10th five-wicket haul in SENA nations, becoming the first-ever Indian to touch this figure. Two more five-wicket hauls will take him above Pakistan legend Wasim Akram (11 SENA fifers). Bumrah has taken 210 test wickets in just 46 matches, at an average of 19.33 and economy of 2.77 with best figures of 6/27. Since 2024, the veteran seamer has been carrying India on his back.
