On Monday, December 25, MS Dhoni, the former captain of India, celebrated Christmas with his friends and family. Rishabh Pant, the batsman and wicketkeeper, was also present.
Since the beginning of the year, Pant has been sidelined due to severe injuries he sustained in an automobile accident. In order to get back in shape for elite cricket, he had therapy and is presently undergoing rehabilitation. India’s next two-match Test series against South Africa, which starts on Boxing Day, will be without Pant.
Spending time with pals in Dubai, Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni were recently sighted. During the IPL 2024 auction, Pant was also present at the Delhi Capitals’ (DC) table, leading their offer by lifting the paddle.
To offer fans a peek into their Christmas celebrations, MS Dhoni’s daughter Ziva posted a photo of their celebration on Monday on Instagram. Posing in the post were MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, daughter Ziva, wife Sakshi, and a number of other pals. One caption on the post read:

Kasi Viswanathan proceeded after going over their selections from the IPL 2024 auction:
“I would say we pretty much got all of our targets. We were planning for Daryl Mitchell. We thought Mustafizur Rahman would be a good bet at our Chepauk wicket, with the side boundary. These were our thoughts but we were not sure whether we would be able get them. Luckily, it turned out to be a good auction for us this time.”
