Whether it is the IPL or international cricket, Sakshi is omnipresent at every match that features Dhoni. She seems to relish travelling around the world with her husband.
Suresh Raina hit a fluent half-century, while Dhoni blasted a quickfire 32 from 15 balls in the closing stages to help Chennai post a challenging 177 for seven in their 20 overs after they had elected to bat first.

Sakshi was working as a trainee at the Taj Bengal in Kolkata when she first met Dhoni, way back in 2008.
Dhoni married Sakshi in a private ceremony in July 2010 which was attended by his family and a few of his close friends including some India team mates.

During India's tour of New Zealand earlier this year, Sakshi, who was accompanied her husband on the tour, showed her adventurous side as she successfully attempted skydiving in Queenstown.
She attempted the jump along with Ravichandra Ashwin's wife Preethi and Cheteshwar Pujara's better half Puja.

After being stunned by Kings XI Punjab in their opening match, CSK brought the smile back on Sakshi's face with a clinical performance against Delhi.
After posting a competitive 177, the two-time champions came up with a disciplined bowling and fielding effort to bundle out the Daredevils for a paltry 84 in 15.4 overs.
