Having missed her birth in February, as he was busy playing in World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, he was keen to make up for lost time.

Soon, Ziva was spotted in the stands to cheer Chennai Super Kings in their Indian Premier League matches in April.

Earlier, Dhoni had said the birth of a child brings changes in people's lives.

"Your life does change with the kind of smile the baby gives you," he said.

"She doesn't care whether I play for my country or play for a good franchisee like Chennai. She wants to cry, she cries. It gives a very good feeling," the India captain added.
