Cuteness alert: Sakshi's Instagram video of MS Dhoni with pet will melt your heart

Ranchi: After trashing Australia 4-1 in the recently concluded ODI series which helped Team India reclaim the no.1 spot in the ICC ODI ranking, the players are currently relaxing ahead of their T20 series against the visiting side.

Former India skipper MS Dhoni who is currently in Ranchi seems to be enjoying some time ahead of a three-match Twenty20 series against Australia.

When off the field, although Dhoni loves spending his time with family, his love for pets is no secret. His wife Sakshi Dhoni on Wednesday posted a video of Dhoni playing with his pet dog Sam on Instagram.

The post read "#belgiummalinois #sam's mirroring talent!". The video shows that every time Dhoni moves left or right, Sam does the same until Dhoni finally calls him and pets him.

This isn't the first time a video or photo of Dhoni playing with his dogs made it to Instagram.

Earlier on Wednesday, the former Team India skipper also hosted actress Soundarya Sharma and Anupam Kher for a dinner on Wednesday. Kher played the role of Dhoni’s father in his biopic ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'.

The actor was visiting Ranchi for an upcoming film promotion and was invited by ‘Mahi’ to his place and the legendary actor accepted.

Anupam Kher shared pictures from the evening with Dhoni alone and most interestingly with MS’ father – for a reel and real life father look to it. Kher wrote on Twitter, “Dear #Sakshi & @msdhoni!! Thank you for your warmth & hospitality. Loved ur new home. Meeting parents is always a blessing. #RanchiDiaries”.
