Dhoni marriage photos and pictures are the most searched on the net. But its surprising that even after knowing the venue of Dhoni's marriage our paparazzi were not able to click Ms Dhoni's marriage and wedding pictures with Sakshi Rawat. Even the marriage pictures of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were covered somehow but not Dhoni and Sakshi Rawat's marriage.

MS Dhoni and Sakshi Singh Rawat got engaged at Hotel Competant in Dehradun on Saturday and their marraige took place the next day at Vishranti Resort, near Dehradun. Vishranti Resort is owned by Raje and many high profile guests attended Dhoni's marriage.

Sakshi, a hotel management graduate and Dhoni had been knowing each other since their school days. Their fathers also worked together in Ranchi and both the families were quite close since then.

Dhoni's wedding was attended by high profile guests like ICC chief Sharad Pawar, BCCI President Shashank Manohar, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, Actor John Abraham, Director Farah Khan and cricketers R.P.Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra and Suresh Raina.

More than 100 poilcemen were posted at the gates of Vishranti Resort to ensure that only cars whose numbers were already given were allowed to enter.

It is believed that the recception will be held in Mumbai on July 7, Dhoni's Birthday.
Wishing Dhoni and Sakshi a very happy married life.

Five greatest innings by Dhoni


Five greatest innings by Dhoni 






183 v Sri Lanka, Jaipur, 2005-06
Sri Lanka set India a formidable 299 to win, and India lose Tendulkar in the first over. But Dhoni, promoted to No. 3, plunders 183 off 145 balls, and takes India to victory with 23 balls to spare. His innings includes 15 fours and 10 sixes, and it is the highest score by a wicketkeeper, the highest individual score batting second, and it has the highest number of runs scored in boundaries at the time.

148 v Pakistan, Visakhapatman, 2004-05
Dhoni is playing his fifth ODI and walks in at No. 3 after Sachin Tendulkar has fallen in the fourth over. The pitch is flat, and Dhoni cashes in in a spectacular manner. He scores his maiden ODI century, 148 off 123 balls with 15 fours and four sixes, and by the time he's done shewag 74 off 40 balls has been overshadowed. It is the highest score by an Indian wicketkeeper - barring Rahul Dravid - and by the time Dhoni is out, India are 289 for 4 in the 42nd over.

148 v Pakistan, Faisalabad 2005-06
After Pakistan have scored 588 in the first innings, India are in danger of conceding a massive first-innings lead after losing their top five for 281. Dhoni disregards the match situation, matched fire with fire, and what follows is a breathless knock that kills any chances of a result in the Test. A fired-up Shoaib Akhtar steams in and peppers Dhoni with a barrage of short balls, but Dhoni responds with a thrilling counterattack, hooking and pulling with aggression that almost approaches recklessness. He hits four sixes and 19 fours in his innings for 148, which take him only 153 balls. By the time he is out, India trail by only 97 runs.

72 and 77 v Pakistan, Lahore and Karachi, 2005-06
The knocks that consolidate his reputation of being a finisher. With the five-match series level at 1-1, and India needing 290 to win the Lahore one-dayer, Dhoni walks in with India needing 99 off 92 balls with five wickets in hand. Yuvraj Singh is batting on 53, but Dhoni completely overshadows him, smashing 72 runs off 46 balls to win the game in the 48th over.

76 v England at Lord's, 2007
This is perhaps Dhoni's most valuable innings, for it helps India avoid impending defeat and provides the turnaround for a historic series victory in England. He has played an atrocious shot to get out for a duck in the first innings, and is the last of India's recognized batsmen, when at 145 for 5 India need to bat for more than two sessions to save the Test. He adds 86 for the sixth wicket with VVS Laxman who gets out with India on 231 for 6. Dhoni rides his luck, survives several edges and bats for 159 balls for his 76. He keeps losing partners, but manages to hang on with Sreesanth, the No 11, until the rain, which has threatened to arrive all day, finally does and ends the Test.




Dhoni's Records / Man of the Match Awards in ODI / Man of the Series Awards

4. The innings set the record for the most number of runs scored in boundaries (120 - 15x4; 10x6) breaking the record held by Saeed Anwar. The record was broken by Herschelle Gibbs (126 runs in boundaries - 21x4; 7x6) against Australia during his knock of 175.
5. In the same match, Kumar Sangakkara also made a century, making it the first match in which both wicket keepers scored a century

10. Dhoni erased Shaun Pollock's record for highest individual innings by a number seven batsman in one-day internationals during his unbeaten innings of 139 Incidentally, Pollock record stood for just three days as his score of 130 came in the first match of the 2007 Afro-Asia Cup while Dhoni's century came in the third and final match of the series
11. Dhoni also holds the records of the most dismissals in an innings by an Indian wicketkeeper and joint International (with Adam Gilchrist) with 6 dismissals (5 catches and one stumping) against England at Headlingly 2 September 2007
12. Dhoni holds the Indian record of most dismissals in ODIs. He went past Nayan Mongia's 154 for India on November 14 2008 when he caught Ian Bell off Zaheer Khan at Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground, Rajkot. However including 3 ODIs against Africa XI, his 155th dismissal was TM Dilshan caught off Munaf Patel at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 24th August, 2008.
