Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday posted a photograph of their cricketing icon and highly successful skipper MS Dhoni holding an injured bird in his hand. The pic of Dhoni with the bird was originally uploaded by his daughter daughter Ziva's on the Instagram handle in which she said that her parents had saved the coppersmith.


"The most wanted bird's eye view. #ThalaDharisanam #WhistlePodu," said CSK in the tweet alongwith the image.


While Ziva posted the pic on the Instagram handle, she also explained how her dad had saved the life of the bird.

"Today in the evening on my lawn I saw a bird lying unconscious. I shouted for papa and mumma. Papa held the bird in his hand and made her have some water. After some time it opened its eyes. All of us were very happy," Ziva wrote.

"We placed her in a basket on top of some leaves. Mumma told me it is Crimson-breasted Barbet and is also called Coppersmith. What a pretty, pretty little bird."

While most of Dhoni's team mates at the international level have been pretty active during the lockdown, appearing on various chat shows on social media, Dhoni has chosen to stay a bit subdued and away from all the attention, spending quality time with his family. Some of his enjoyable moments with wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva have been captured by his wife and shared on her social media handles.

Dhoni was all set to turn out and captain CSK in the 2020 Indian Premier League that was scheduled to commence on March 29 before the BCCI got the tournament indefinitely postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dhoni's die hard fans were eagerly awaiting to watch their hero play for the Yellow Brigade in the IPL as the tourney was seen as a way from him to make a comeback into the national team.
