Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is making the most of his time off cricket by vacationing with his wife Sakshi Dhoni and daughter Ziva Dhoni. The Indian veteran was recently seen in action in the IPL 2021, however, the tournament was called off due to the emergence of COVID-19 cases in the bio-bubble. With no cricketing obligations in the near future, Dhoni is on a holiday with his family in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.

Now, another unseen photo of the legendary captain has emerged on social media where he is seen standing on a makeshift cricket pitch in the village. The picturesque photo shows how Dhoni likes to stay connected to the sport during his vacation as well.

Meanwhile, Dhoni is set to be back in action when the IPL 2021 resumes on September 19 in the UAE. Chennai had a dream start to their IPL 2021 campaign as they won five out of the seven games they played despite their skipper being out of form, with Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina being their key men of success. The 'Men in Yellow' dominated the opponents in almost all their wins. Their two defeats came against Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. At the time of the IPL suspension, CSK were placed second in the IPL 2021 points table behind Delhi with 10 points to their name. It will be interesting to see if CSK maintain their form post the IPL 2021 postponed scenario, once the tournament restarts.
