Sakshi and MS Dhoni's little princess turned four on Wednesday.
Ziva Dhoni is one of the most adored celebrity kids in India. MS Dhoni's daughter steals the show every time she makes a public appearance. Ziva turned four on Wednesday and we couldn't help but look back at some instances when Mahi and Sakshi Dhoni's little princess stole our hearts.
There is also an interesting story about how father Dhoni learnt about her birth. MS Dhoni is well known for his dedication to cricket and concentrating on the task at hand. When he was preparing for the 2015 ICC World Cup, his only focus was on cricket. And that is why he was not even carrying a mobile phone. Just a week before ICC World Cup 2015 began, Dhoni became the father of baby Ziva. But with Dhoni on 'radio silence', wife Sakshi had to take an unusual route to let him know the good news. She contacted team-mate Suresh Raina to share the news with Dhoni.
Ziva was born on 6th February 2015, two days ahead of India's warm-up match against Australia.
