It was a heartwarming sight at Chepauk on a buzzing Saturday afternoon. While the crowd turned up in yellow to back Chennai Super Kings, all eyes were also glued to a rare moment as MS Dhoni’s parents, Pan Singh Dhoni and Devaki Devi were spotted in the stands alongside his wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva.

As CSK took on Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, this surprise appearance sent social media into a frenzy. For years, fans have seen Sakshi and Ziva cheer for the Thala from the stands.

But seeing Dhoni's parents at the stadium made fans go berserk. The moment felt emotional and stirred the old retirement chatter once again. But let’s take a step back and have a detailed look at MS Dhoni’s family.

Who Are MS Dhoni’s Parents?

MS Dhoni Father: Pan Singh

MS Dhoni's father, Pan Singh used to work as a Junior Manager at MECON, a public-sector company under the Ministry of Steel. During Dhoni's early days, he was more inclined towards his son taking the academic route. 

Cricket wasn’t part of the family blueprint. In fact, Pan Singh only warmed up to the idea once Dhoni landed a job with the Indian Railways.

MS Dhoni Mother: Devaki Devi

Dhoni’s mother Devaki Devi was always a pillar of support. A homemaker by role but the emotional glue of the family. If you have watched 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story', you know how her silent prayers and quiet belief stood behind every innings he played. 

There was even a match where Dhoni had her name written on his jersey as part of a promotional initiative.

Who Are MS Dhoni’s Siblings?

MSD is the youngest of three siblings. He has an elder sister and an elder brother.

MS Dhoni’s Sister: Jayanti Gupta

Jayanti Gupta, Dhoni’s sister, has always been one of his strongest supporters. From his school cricket days to his rise in world cricket, she has been in his corner. She now works as an English teacher and is married to Gautam Gupta.

MS Dhoni’s Brother: Narendra Singh Dhoni

Now here is a name not often heard: Narendra Singh Dhoni. MS Dhoni’s elder brother lives a different life altogether. He is a politician and had drifted away from the family even before Dhoni became a household name.

Meanwhile, while Thala still keeps it tight-lipped on his future, the presence of his parents, wife and daughter in one frame has added more fuel to the retirement buzz.
