Happy Birthday MS Dhoni: When former Indian captain hilariously revealed his first crush's name in an event

New Delhi:

Widely revered as one of the greatest captains to ever grace the sport, there is no doubt that there have been few players with as much impact on world cricket as former India skipper MS Dhoni. Leading India to the T20 World Cup title in 2007, Dhoni followed it up by helping his side win the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions League as well. 

 

The legendary wicket-keeper batter celebrates his 44th birthday on July 7, 2025, and on that note, let us have a look at a hilarious moment from one of his interviews where the name of one of his childhood crushes was revealed. 

Back in 2018, Dhoni was present at a promotional event where he was participating in a magician’s act. The magician attempted to guess the name of Dhoni’s first crush: "There's an A in the word. All girls' names have an A," the magician said.
