The first lady of Indian cricket has done it again.

Till now, Mrs Dhoni, a regular face at almost all the major cricket matches, was seen dressed in western outfits. It seems she's ditched the dresses for Indian wear.

The Dhawan's four-month-old bundle of joy seemed to enjoy being a part of the packed gathering at the Ranchi ground, which wore a festive look.
