Mahendra Singh Dhoni's luxury in Ranchi: From intricate artwork on walls to patio and bike collection, peek into Thala's dream residence
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, or as the fans know him, Mahi, has been playing cricket for the past two decades. Following his retirement from two formats of the sport in 2020, the athlete has continued to captain the IPL team, Chennai Super Kings. Amid the success and the victories, the former captain of the India Cricket team has managed to build his dream house in Ranchi, where he has settled with his wife, Sakshi, and daughter, Ziva. The luxurious mansion away from the metropolitan cities speaks volumes in terms of comfort and Dhoni's simple yet elegant taste in design. M.S. Dhoni's luxurious residence in Ranchi Dhoni's residence in his hometown is called Kailashpati, with a spacious living room having intricately designed walls. The sitting area also has some of the intricately designed walls, with one of them having a huge mirror installed. The cricketer and his wife, Sakshi, have opted for muted tones, like grey, yellow, and white, to give a comfortable feeling to them as well as the guests who arrive. The lights in the house are also soothing, and a blue painting in the residence catches the eye immediately as one enters the house. Moreover, the mansion is designed in such a way that it allows an ample amount of light. The family of three has also installed a flat-screen TV opposite the sofas. Additionally, the bedrooms in the former captain's house are designed in the palette of beige and gold. The bedroom in the mansion has a brown headboard, spongy bedding, and golden decor all over. The cricketer has also installed a TV on the wall opposite the bed. Meanwhile, Mahi often spends time in his backyard, as seen in the multiple Instagram pictures uploaded. The lawn outside of the living area is huge, with a wooden patio, providing elegance to the naturalistic view. The cricketer spends time out with his dogs and even his family. In addition to the huge mansion, Dhoni has also installed a two-story garage to keep his collection of bikes. According to the reports, Thala is quite fond of his motorbikes and has more than 70 of them.

Gautam Gambhir Returns To India From England Due To Medical Emergency: Report
Last Updated: Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has reportedly returned home from England days before the Tendulkar-Anderson trophy due to a family emergency. Indian men's head coach Gautam Gambhir has reportedly been forced to return to India from England due to a medical emergency just days before the start of the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy on June 20. According to Sportstar, his mother, Seema, has suffered a cardiac arrest and is currently in Intensive Care. Gambhir reached England with the team on June 7. This is his fourth Test series as the head coach. He reportedly missed India's net session on June 12, too, and is no longer with the squad. The date of his possible return is currently uncertain, though some reports say he might come back by next week. Gambhir's return comes on the day of India's intra-squad game. The match, likely to be played between teams drawn from the senior and India 'A' squads, will be played behind closed doors in Leeds, i.e., it won't be broadcast or streamed, and a scorecard is unlikely to be available either. According to news agency PTI, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate will assume the charge for the match. Bowling coach Morne Morkel and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak will assist him. It's the last bit of red-ball preparation for several first-time members, who are coming straight from the IPL. The first Test will be played in Headingley from next Friday. Earlier, Gambhir gave a stirring motivational speech to his young team about moving on from the retirements of greats like Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, and previous captain Rohit Sharma. 'All I want to say is there are two ways of looking at this group. One is that we are without our three most experienced players, or we've got this phenomenal opportunity to do something special," Gambhir said in a video shared by the BCCI, which was shot before his departure. 'And when I look around this group, the hunger, the passion and the commitment to do something special… If we make sacrifices, if we come out of our comfort zones, if we start fighting, not every day, but every session, every hour and every ball, I think we can have a memorable tour. So make sure we start that today. Start enjoying playing for the country because there's no bigger honour," he added. First Published:
