Captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni turns 39 on Tuesday and the sweetest wish, from those of all his fans and followers on social media, is from his wife, Sakshi. She shared many adorable and candid captures of the legendary Indian cricketer on Instagram and expressed her adoration for her husband with the sweetest words.

The pictures show Dhoni, visibly greying amid lockdown at his home in Ranchi, enjoying some quality time with his pet dogs and also with his family. Sakshi quipped through the caption that as she's 'marking the date', she has noticed that her husband has 'greyed a bit more' and has 'become smarter and sweeter'.

Sakshi wrote, "Marking the date you were born, another year older, greyed a bit more, become smarter and sweeter. (Literally 😂😂) You are a man who will not be moved by all the sweet wishes and gifts. Let’s celebrate another year of your life by cutting a cake and blowing the candles! Happy Birthday, Husband!!"
