NEW DELHI: A heartwarming video featuring three of Indian cricket’s most beloved names — MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Rishabh Pant — has taken social media by storm.
The clip captures the trio letting loose and dancing joyfully to the timeless sufi classic ‘Dama Dam Mast Qalandar’ during what is supposed to be the sangeet ceremony of Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant.
The celebration, part of the ongoing wedding festivities in Mussoorie, saw the cricketers in high spirits.

Sakshi is tying the knot with businessman Ankit Chaudhary, and the Pant family has pulled out all the stops to make it a memorable affair.
The video, which surfaced on Wednesday, quickly went viral, delighting fans across the country.
MS Dhoni, who earlier flew into Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport with his family, made a rare public appearance at the private event.
Dressed in a casual black tee and cream trousers, Dhoni looked relaxed as he joined the revelry.
Suresh Raina, a close friend and longtime teammate of Dhoni, was also seen grooving with his signature charm.
Pant, fresh off India’s victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final, appeared to be enjoying the downtime with his mentors.
With the international season momentarily on pause, attention now shifts to the IPL 2025.
Pant, who has taken over the reins of Lucknow Super Giants, will be keen to guide his side to their first title. Meanwhile, Dhoni will once again don CSK colours, possibly for the last time, as he chases a historic sixth IPL trophy.
Whether this was Dhoni’s final dance before retirement remains to be seen — but for now, fans are loving every bit of this rare and cheerful off-field moment.
