Senior Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s daughter Ziva has often been spotted supporting her father from the stands. Especially during the Indian Premier League season, the toddler travels with the Chennai Super Kings squad and her mother Sakshi for matches across the country.
The little diva is now off to England to support her father in what is mostly likely to be his last ICC World Cup.
MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi recently posted Ziva’s photo on Instagram with a geo tag of London, United Kingdom. The caption said, ‘Travel times!’.
Ziva has an instagram handle of her own that is handled by her mother, Sakshi and the four-year-old has 980k followers.
This will be Ziva’s first World Cup experience. Dhoni became a father during India’s last World Cup campaign in Australia and New Zealand.
India will begin their ICC World Cup 2019 campaign against South Africa at the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground on 5 June.
Dhoni, who led India to World Cup glory in 2011, will be featuring in a World Cup not as a skipper, after 12 years.
Dhoni has been in sensational form recently. He was CSK’s highest run scorer in IPL 2019 with 416 runs in 15 games. Vintage Dhoni continued his form in England as he smashed a century against Bangladesh in India’s second warm-up match.
In 2007, Dhoni was a newcomer to the Indian side that had the likes of Ganguly, Dravid, Tendulkar, Sehwag. In this edition, MSD will be the wise guide and silent leader to India’s World Cup quest.
