Sakshi Dhoni's Hilarious Moment During T20 World Cup Semi-Final

Sakshi Dhoni's Reaction During the Match

During the thrilling semi-final of the 2026 T20 World Cup between India and England at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on March 5, Sakshi Dhoni, wife of MS Dhoni, became a focal point of attention. As the match neared its conclusion, she exuberantly celebrated what she thought was a wicket, only to be playfully corrected by her husband. This amusing moment unfolded during an over bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, who delivered a pivotal performance.

Sakshi mistakenly believed that India had taken a wicket when Bumrah managed to catch a ball that Sam Curran had hit back towards him. However, the ball had actually bounced before he could secure it. MS Dhoni, who was cheering for Bumrah's delivery, quickly realized the misunderstanding and shared a laugh with Sakshi, informing her that it was not a wicket. Watch here
