However, the legendary cricketer made an exception this time, attending the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant, in Mussoorie.
Adding to the excitement, Dhoni was seen dancing alongside his former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Suresh Raina, in a viral video that has taken social media by storm. The duo, known for their close bond both on and off the field, showcased their fun-loving side as they grooved together on the dance floor.
