The former India skipper MS Dhoni is renowned for being the 'cool captain.' Under his leadership, Team India has clinched three major trophies, including the 2011 ODI World Cup. Beyond his contributions to international cricket, Dhoni has played a significant role in the success of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL.
The CSK wicketkeeper-batter is equally known for his charismatic personality and witty nature. An excellent example of his humour was recently witnessed during an engagement party. A video recently went viral on social media, capturing the moment when Dhoni attended an engagement party and offered his blessings to the couple in his trademark witty style.
"They seem very happy. They are very excited. They danced very well. They get along very well, I would like to wish them all the very best for the challenging times ahead. I mean, from a career perspective," Dhoni was seen saying in the video.

MS Dhoni smoking hookah during social event goes viral
A video of MS Dhoni smoking hookah at a social gathering has gone viral, drawing attention from fans and raising some eyebrows. The footage captures Dhoni, who celebrated the New Year in Dubai with Rishabh Pant and Bollywood star Kriti Sanon, indulging in hookah. While the video has gained widespread attention, it's challenging to verify its authenticity, including the exact date and time. It appears to have been recorded at a recent private party.
Following the viral video of Dhoni smoking hookah, an old comment from former CSK teammate George Bailey has re-emerged. Bailey, the former Australian captain, had previously remarked on Dhoni's fondness for smoking hookah and how he would use it as a means to break the ice with younger players.
"He likes smoking a bit of the sheesha or the hookah. So, he quite often would set that up in his room, and it was very much an open-door policy. You would go in and quite often find a lot of younger players there. For India or lot of other cricket teams, it can be hierarchical, but he certainly broke that down," revealed Bailey.
