The incident, captured in a viral photo, once again showcased Dhoni’s love for animals. Watch the adorable moment below:
Dhoni’s special bond with animals
MS Dhoni has always been an animal lover. At his home in Ranchi, he owns several pet dogs, including a Belgian Malinois, a Husky, and a Labrador. The veteran cricketer has often shared glimpses of his pets on social media, showing his deep affection for them. His recent interaction with a stray dog during CSK’s training session highlights his soft side once again.
A sweet gesture at the practice session
During CSK’s practice session, Dhoni was spotted feeding a black-and-white stray dog while sitting in the dugout. Wearing CSK’s blue practice jersey, he extended a piece of food to the dog, who happily accepted it. The moment was captured by the franchise and shared on social media, instantly winning the hearts of fans.
This small act of kindness further proves why Dhoni is adored not just for his cricketing skills but also for his humble and compassionate nature.
Dhoni will return in the CSK colors in their first match of IPL 2025 against Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 23 at Chepauk Stadium. At 43, he will be the oldest player in this season’s IPL, yet his leadership and experience remain invaluable to the team.
