Having made his first-class debut in 1999 for Bihar, Dhoni went on to first represent India in 2004 in an ODI against Bangladesh.
MS is the youngest child of his parents and has a brother – Narendra Singh Dhoni & a sister Jayanti Gupta. While NS is a politician, his sister was an English teacher and is married. On the other hand, father Paan, who hails from Lvali village, Almora District in Uttarakhand, was a Manager at MECON and moved to Ranchi in 1964. His mother is a housewife.
It was in 2010, that Dhoni got married to Sakshi Rawat, who studied Hotel management, and worked in Taj Kolkata. The couple gave birth to a baby girl, Ziva in 2015.
