A viral moment from the India-England T20 World Cup semi-final featured MS Dhoni and his wife, Sakshi. She mistakenly celebrated a bump catch, and Dhoni was filmed calmly correcting her.
The India vs England T20 World Cup semi-final was a nail-biter, but a super cute and funny moment from the stands is now going viral. Former India captain MS Dhoni was at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium with his wife Sakshi, and their little interaction has won everyone's hearts.
It all happened in the 18th over of the match. Jasprit Bumrah was bowling to England's Sam Curran. Curran hit the ball, and it went straight into Bumrah's hands. Sakshi, thinking it was a clean catch, jumped up from her seat and started clapping and celebrating the 'wicket'.
But here's the twist. The ball had actually bounced on the ground before Bumrah caught it, so it wasn't out. Dhoni, who was standing right behind Sakshi, looked a bit surprised at her celebration. With his classic cool smile, he gently calmed her down and gestured, "It's not a wicket, the batsman is not out, just sit down." A video of Dhoni's smile and Sakshi's innocent mistake is now all over the internet, and fans are loving it.
