Indian’s ‘Captain Cool’ got married to his love, Sakshi on July 4, 2010. There’s is a magical love story as all of you must have seen in Dhoni’s biopic, M.S. Dhoni..An Untold Story. In case you have missed it, read it here. The gorgeous couple welcomed their baby daughter, Ziva, on February 6, 2015. On being asked about embracing fatherhood, Dhoni had once shared in an interview, “Your life does change with the kind of smile the baby gives you. She doesn’t care whether I play for my country or play for a good franchisee like Chennai. She wants to cry, she cries. It gives a very good feeling.” Here as well, the captain gave some serious fatherhood goals!
Further adding, “It gives a very good feeling. You know, the first willing hug from my daughter’s side came only in the last 15 days! I’m enjoying that and it’s actually a special moment — now she recognises me, and tries to interact with me. But since she’s spent way more time with her mom, she often calls me ‘mama’ instead of ‘papa’! But I’ve somehow learnt to make my peace with that”.

In a throwback interview, Dhoni had shared if daughter Ziva has changed him as a person. Speaking about embracing fatherhood, he had revealed, "I don't know whether it has changed me as a cricketer, as a person yes of course because daughters are very close to their fathers. In my case the problem is when she (Ziva) was born I was not there (three years ago), most of the time I was playing cricket, so everything bad somehow is thrown at me (to deal with)."
How does he manage to balance his IPL matches and spending time with his daughter? Dhoni had once shared, “I had a wonderful time with her (Ziva), she was there for the whole of IPL and one of her biggest requests used to be I have to go to the ground, that is lawn for her. And also there are lot of kids in the team. I would get up by 1:30, 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon. Ziva is up by the time, she gets up by 8.30 or 9, have her breakfast, engage with everyone, start playing... I feel it just relaxes us a bit more when the kids are playing with each other.” Also, remember that cute video when baby Dhoni wanted to hug her papa in the middle of a match?
