Former Indian captain, MS Dhoni made a heartfelt journey back to his roots. Dhoni, at 42, continues to stir public admiration, this time by returning to his ancestral village in Almora, a visit that marked a significant moment both personally and for the village of Lwali.


Dhoni's Almora visit captured hearts

The visit, occurring after a gap of two decades, was more than just a nostalgic trip. The villagers of Lwali, in Jaanti tehsil, extended a traditional and warm welcome to their famous son and his wife, Sakshi.


Their arrival from Nainital was not just a homecoming but a festive event for the community. Dhoni's day was filled with activities deeply rooted in his heritage. He paid respects at various local temples, intertwining his faith with the community's spirit, and even prayed for the Indian team's success in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. The Indian veteran was also seen touching the feet and seeking blessings of the elderly people.

But it wasn't just about paying homage to his roots. Dhoni, known for his remarkable leadership and cool demeanour on the cricket field, turned this visit into an impromptu cricket clinic. The youth of Lwali, eager to learn from one of the greats, surrounded him, absorbing the tips and tricks of the game. This interaction highlighted Dhoni's continued influence on the sport and its fans.

The visit also served as a family reunion. Dhoni's father, Paan Singh Dhoni, had moved from Lwali to Ranchi in the 1970s for work, leaving behind a part of the family's legacy. The village head, Dinesh Dhoni, noted that several family members, including Dhoni's uncle, still reside in Haldwani,

Meanwhile, in the cricketing world, Dhoni's recent wins continue to echo. He was last seen leading Chennai Super Kings to a historic fifth title win in the IPL 2023 season, defeating the Gujarat Titans in a thrilling final.

This victory not only added another feather to his illustrious cap but also left fans speculating about his future in the sport. At 42, Dhoni has not dismissed the possibility of returning for another IPL season, leaving a hint during his post-match presentation speech.
