Cricket Legends Shine at Rishabh Pant’s Sister’s Wedding: Rishabh Pant’s sister’s wedding was a star-studded affair in Dehradun, with cricket icons MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina gracing the event. A viral video from the celebration shows the two former Indian teammates enjoying the occasion with some electrifying dance moves.

Dhoni & Raina Light Up Dehradun’s Wedding Celebration
MS Dhoni, accompanied by his wife Sakshi, arrived in Dehradun on Tuesday to celebrate the wedding. The Chennai Super Kings captain is preparing for IPL 2025, where his team will kick off their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Before heading to Dehradun, Dhoni attended CSK’s training camp in Chennai, marking the beginning of his preparations for the upcoming season.
The 43-year-old last played a competitive match on May 18, 2024, against RCB, where CSK failed to secure a playoff spot. Despite the setback, Dhoni was retained by CSK for ₹4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Rishabh Pant: The Most Expensive Player in IPL History
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant is set to lead Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025. After Delhi Capitals chose not to retain him, LSG acquired the wicketkeeper-batsman for a record-breaking ₹27 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. This makes him the most expensive player in IPL history.
Pant will play his first match for LSG on March 24 against his former team, Delhi Capitals, at Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
