IPL 2026: Former CSK captain MS Dhoni is winning hearts again. He was spotted playing with Sarfaraz Khan's baby inside the dressing-room. Dhoni held a tennis ball in his hand and asked the little baby to take it out. While the baby tries to get the ball, Dhoni smartly loosens his grip. The baby gets the ball and is happy. Dhoni seems very happy in the company of the baby as he tries to lift the kid. Here is the clip that has now gone viral on social space.

Sarfaraz is not to be seen in the video. Looks like the CSK dressing-room is a happy space ahead of a grueling season that beckons. They would certainly like to improve on their performance from last year. CSK have a few new players who could actually change the fortunes of the franchise. Spotlight would certainly be on Dhoni and Sanju Samson.
