MS Dhoni is well known for his dedication to cricket and concentrating on the task at hand. When he was preparing for the 2015 ICC World Cup, his only focus was on cricket. And that is why he was not even carrying a mobile phone.
MS Dhoni is well known for his dedication to cricket and concentrating on the task at hand. When he was preparing for the 2015 ICC World Cup, his only focus was on cricket. And that is why he was not even carrying a mobile phone.
Just a week before ICC World Cup 2015 began, Dhoni became the father of baby Ziva. But with Dhoni on 'radio silence', wife Sakshi had to take an unusual route to let him know the good news. She contacted team-mate Suresh Raina to share the news with Dhoni.
Ziva was born on 6th February, two days ahead of India's warm-up match against Australia.
According to renowned journalist Rajdeep Sardesai's book, 'Democracy's XI: The Great Indian Cricket Story', Sakshi sent a message to Suresh Raina to share the news with Dhoni of daughter Ziva's birth.
The publisher of the book, Juggernaut Books, tweeted on Friday regarding the incident during ICC World Cup 2015,"When @msdhoni becm a father arnd 2015 World Cup, he wasn't carryg a mobile. His wife sent an SMS thru @ImRaina to inform him! #RajdeepsBook."
Dhoni was so focused on the World Cup that he didn't go back to India to meet his newborn. He missed the birth of his first child, for the Australia tour, but asked whether he would rather have been in India, he said: "Not really."
"I have been blessed with a baby daughter. Mum and daughter both are good," he told reporters. "But as of now I am on national duties so I think everything else can wait. The World Cup is a very important campaign," he added.
In 2015 World Cup, India made it to the semifinals where they lost to Australia by 95 runs. India won the World Cup in 2011 for the second time in cricketing history under the captaincy of Dhoni.
