Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fast bowler Monu Singh took to Instagram to share a series of endearing photos from MS Dhoni’s 44th birthday celebration held at the legendary cricketer’s farmhouse in Ranchi. The celebration, which took place on Monday, July 7, 2025, was a warm, private family affair featuring close relatives and friends.
In the shared photos, MS Dhoni appears relaxed, dressed casually in a black t-shirt and track pants, as he cuts his birthday cake surrounded by loved ones. One touching moment shows him feeding cake to Monu Singh, reflecting their close bond. His wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva also joined the celebration, adding warmth and cheer to the intimate gathering.
Monu Singh captioned his heartfelt post, “Happy 44th Mahi bhaiya @mahi7781 ❤️ You’re a gift to us,” reflecting the deep admiration and gratitude he holds for Dhoni. The celebration highlighted the personal side of the cricketing icon, who, despite being a global superstar, has always valued family and close-knit moments.
Monu Singh, a domestic player from Jharkhand, shares a special bond with MS Dhoni. He was picked by Chennai Super Kings in 2018 for his base price of ₹20 lakh but had to wait until 2020 to make his IPL debut. Playing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he bowled two overs and gave away 20 runs without claiming a wicket. Although it was his only IPL outing, the chance to share the field and dressing room with a legend like Dhoni remains a cherished moment in his career.
The pictures have since gone viral among Dhoni fans, who never miss a chance to get a glimpse into the life of their beloved ‘Captain Cool.’ As Dhoni turned 44, social media was flooded with birthday wishes from fans, former teammates, cricketers, and celebrities alike—underscoring his everlasting popularity and respect in the cricketing world.
Even in retirement from international cricket, MS Dhoni continues to be a source of inspiration and admiration—not just for his achievements on the field but for the humility, loyalty, and grounded lifestyle he leads off it. This quiet celebration served as yet another reminder of why MS Dhoni remains not just a cricketing icon but also a cherished human being to those who know him personally.
