IN PICS: This is how Dhoni enjoyed an ISL match with his daughter Ziva and wife Sakshi

Sakshi is all smiles and Ziva is probably too awestruck to react but the look in Dhoni’s face tells you why he’s a diehard sports lover. How can he smile when his side has just conceded a goal? (Photo: living_bcoz_of_Dhoni, Instagram)

First Cricket and now football? Enough of this daddy, now please cuddle me- this must have been Ziva’s thoughts to which Dhoni gladly obliges even as Sakshi looks from behind. (Photo: Ziva.Dhoni, Instagram)
