Taking out time from a hectic Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 schedule, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived in his hometown Ranchi to cast his vote on Monday. The veteran Indian wicketkeeper was accompanied by his daughter Ziva and wife Sakshi Dhoni.

As soon as the local boy arrived at the polling booth to cast his vote, people gathered in numbers to have a glimpse of their favourite cricketer. Dhoni was escorted by security personnel who took him inside the booth.

Here’s the video:

Later, Dhoni took to his Instagram handle and shared a video where her little daughter appealed to the people out there to go out and 'Use your Power'.


Voting began on Monday across 51 Lok Sabha constituencies spread over seven states, largely in the Hindi heartland, in the fifth of the mega seven-phase electoral exercise.

A total electorate of over 8.75 crores is eligible to exercise their franchise in this phase which covers the remaining 12 constituencies in Rajasthan, as well as 14 in Uttar Pradesh, including the high-profile Amethi, Rae Bareli and Lucknow seats, five in Bihar, and seven in West Bengal.

Voting is also being held in the final phase of the three-stage polling in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag, as well as the state's Ladakh constituency.
