In a video that circulated widely on social media, ‘Thala’ could be seen celebrating alongside the entire nation.

Earlier in the day, Sakshi Dhoni, the wife of MS Dhoni posted a video of their daughter Ziva Dhoni celebrating the moon landing achievement at their residence in Ranchi. However, at the time of the Chandrayaan-3 event, MS Dhoni seemed to be in the gym.
In addition to MS Dhoni, renowned figures in Indian cricket such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli utilized social media platforms to convey their joy over India’s groundbreaking accomplishment. This achievement marked a significant advancement for India, particularly in light of the letdown experienced from the Chandrayaan-2 crash landing that occurred four years ago.
Dhoni was last seen in action during the IPL 2023 season. Having already declared his retirement from international cricket, he has exclusively participated in the IPL since stepping away from the global cricket scene. Despite speculations suggesting that IPL 2023 might mark Dhoni’s final year in the tournament, he surprised many by confirming his return for another season after leading CSK to victory in the tournament. This decision was his way of expressing gratitude to his supporters.
During IPL 2023, the 42-year-old faced challenges due to a knee injury, yet he managed to partake in every match. Following the conclusion of the IPL 2023, Dhoni underwent a knee surgery in Mumbai. Subsequently, he recuperated well, with several videos circulating on social media, depicting him driving various cars from his collection on the streets of Ranchi. Additionally, Dhoni remained occupied with his inaugural movie produced by his own production company, ‘Dhoni Entertainment PVT LTD.’
