In a clip shared by Sarfaraz on Instagram, the former Indian captain is seen spending time with the batter’s one-year-old son at the CSK camp in Chennai, a moment that quickly caught the attention of fans online.

The video shows Dhoni playfully engaging with the child, throwing the ball and sharing a light-hearted moment. Known for his calm and composed demeanor on the field, Dhoni struck a chord with fans who flooded the comments section with praise.
As the teams begin their preparations for the IPL season, these moments also offer a glimpse into the relaxed and positive atmosphere in the camp.
Sarfaraz Khan and his family were blessed with a baby boy on October 21, 2024 in Mumbai. The cricketer has not yet revealed the baby’s name publicly. The delivery came just two days after Sarfaraz scored his maiden Test century – 150 against New Zealand in Bengaluru – and just hours before his 27th birthday.
SARFARAZ CHAN’S FORM
Sarfaraz Khan comes to Indian Premier League 2026 after a decent domestic season. In the List A format, Sarfaraz hit a quick-fire 150 against Goa in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Before that, he enjoyed a decent performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he scored 329 runs, including two extraordinary innings against Assam (100* off 47) and Rajasthan (73 off 22).
Chennai Super Kings gathered in Chennai ahead of their Indian Premier League campaign. CSK will open their season in Guwahati where they will take on Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Stadium on March 30.
After this match, they will return home to host Punjab Kings on April 3 and then travel to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 5. The team will then head back to Chennai to take on the Delhi Capitals on April 11 in what promises to be a busy opening stretch of the season.
