Cricket / MS Dhoni takes part in a race against his horse, wife Sakshi shared the video on Instagram

Cricket Desk: Former India captain MS Dhoni is enjoying his time away from the game. Dhoni lives a private life and stays away from the limelight when he isn't playing the game. He doesn't use social media as well and the fans have to switch to Sakshi's social media accounts to get a glimpse of Dhoni. He lives in Ranchi.

On Saturday (June 12) evening, Sakshi ended the fans' wait and shared a glimpse of Dhoni, who was busy racing against his horse in the video. "Stronger faster ! #playtime #shetlandpony #racing," Sakshi wrote on Instagram.

Dhoni is an animal lover and has at least 4 dogs at his home. He also looks fond of horses as Sakshi has shared clips of 2 horses now. In May, she had welcomed a horse named Chetak."Welcome Home Chetak! A true Gentleman esp when you met Lilly! Happily accepted in our pack," she had written on Instagram. 

Dhoni was in Delhi after the suspension of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 and couldn't welcome the horse. He was seen pampering Chetak, his new horse, a couple of weeks back.

Apart from dogs and horses, Dhoni's love for bikes is also well documented and he has number of bikes at his garage.

Dhoni set to return to action in September

Meanwhile, Dhoni will make his on-field comeback in the third week of September as the BCCI has confirmed staging the 2nd phase of IPL 2021 from September 19 to October 15. The tournament will resume in UAE, which hosted IPL 2020.

Dhoni was leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before the season was suspended due to COVID-19 cases in different camps. With 5 wins from 7 matches, Dhoni's CSK are placed at the 2nd spot. The veteran India player is likely to take a call on his IPL career after the season.
