MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi arrive in Hyderabad, possibly to attend a private event

The couple is understood to have reached Hyderabad on Thursday ahead of the private programme. Details regarding the event, including the venue and other participants, have not been officially disclosed.

Dhoni's arrival in Hyderabad has generated interest among cricket fans in the city, with the former India captain continuing to maintain a strong public following even after stepping away from international cricket.

Dhoni retired from Test cricket in 2014 and announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2020. He continues to remain active in the Indian Premier League and has been associated with Chennai Super Kings, for whom he has been a prominent figure.

The former India captain has also made occasional public appearances at events and programmes outside cricket.

The Hyderabad visit is understood to be for a private engagement, and there is no official indication at present of any cricket-related programme involving Dhoni during his stay in the city.
