Former India cricketer Saurabh Tiwary delighted fans on Tuesday by sharing an adorable moment featuring none other than MS Dhoni, his former captain and teammate, playing with his young son Sourish. The video, posted on Tiwary’s official Facebook page, quickly captured hearts across social media for its simplicity and warmth.
The 16-second clip shows a relaxed and smiling Dhoni, affectionately known as “Mahi Bhaiya,” spending quality time with little Sourish inside a gym. The former India skipper can be seen gently playing and interacting with the toddler, a gesture that reflects both his grounded nature and enduring bond with Tiwary.
Alongside the video, Tiwary captioned the post: “Mahi Bhaiya playing with my son Sourish.” The short and sweet message added an emotional layer to the already touching moment. Fans flooded the comment section with heart emojis and nostalgic messages, many remembering the early 2010s when Dhoni and Tiwary shared the Indian dressing room.
Saurabh Tiwary made his international debut under Dhoni’s captaincy in 2010, playing his first ODI against Australia in Visakhapatnam. Known for his power-hitting and calm demeanor, Tiwary went on to represent India in three One-Day Internationals and enjoyed a successful domestic and IPL career. His career may have flown under the radar internationally, but he remains a respected figure in Jharkhand cricket—an association that both he and Dhoni are deeply rooted in.
Adding another feather to his cap, Tiwary, now 35, recently stepped into a significant administrative role. Last month, he was elected as the Secretary and Joint Secretary of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA), signaling a new chapter in his cricketing journey off the field.
The video not only provided a rare personal glimpse into Dhoni’s life post-retirement but also highlighted the enduring friendships and familial bonds that continue beyond the boundary lines. For fans, it was a delightful reminder of the humility and charm that make Dhoni a beloved figure, both on and off the pitch.
