Meet woman who supported Dhoni to pursue his cricket career, married former CSK captain's best friend, now works as..., she is...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most cherished cricketers in the history of Indian cricket. He has performed incredibly well in his career and has brought Indian cricket to new heights. But a lot of people helped him become who he is. His sister is one of his biggest supporters, and really, she has been there from the beginning of his career to this day. But who is MS Dhoni's sister? What is her name? And what does she do for a living? Know more about her….
MS Dhoni has a sister named Jayanti Gupta. According to various media reports, Jayanti is reportedly about 3-4 years older than him. Jayanti has always been a great supporter of his brother. One such instance is being a big part of his rise in his cricketing career.
Even when Dhoni received no support from their father, he had support from his sister. Although social media attention often highlights Dhoni's name in cricket, Jayanti has always chosen to live outside the spotlight.
Jayanti Gupta lives a simple life and is reported to work as an English teacher in Ranchi, their hometown. She is married to Gautam Gupta, one of Dhoni's oldest and closest friends.
Gautam played a huge role in Dhoni's cricket career and supported him very much throughout his state career too. Their friendship was even acted out in the movie, 'MS Dhoni – The Untold Story.'
Dhoni was last seen in action while leading the Chennai Super Kings in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He took over the captaincy midway through the tournament after designated skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. According to the news agency ANI report, Dhoni's unbeaten 183* against Sri Lanka in 2005 remains the highest score by a wicketkeeper in the format. With over 10,000 ODI runs at an astonishing average of 50.57, his legacy with the bat is as impactful as it is the stumps, Dhoni was a phenomenon. His lightning-fast stumpings and razor-sharp anticipation revolutionised wicketkeeping in limited-overs cricket. Overall, he boasts 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals and 538 matches across formats for India.
