It was on February 6, 2015, when Sakshi Singh Dhoni had given birth to Ziva, in the absence of her husband, MS Dhoni as he was away playing for his country. As Dhoni keeps his mobile off during important tournaments, his family had to reach his best friend, Suresh Raina to give him the 'good news’ of becoming a father to a baby girl. Ever since the birth of Ziva, her doting parents have been sharing glimpses of their little princess and we cannot stop ourselves from falling in love with her every picture.
While scrolling through our social media, we recently stumbled upon a cute childhood picture of Ziva with her mommy, Sakshi. In the unseen picture, baby Ziva was seen sleeping on Sakshi’s shoulder. Dressed in a cute pink and white frock, Ziva looked adorable but what caught our attention was that Ziva was smiling in her sleep and it made our hearts skip a beat. This picture of Ziva is surely the cutest one and it brought a ray of happiness in our lives.
For a show on Star Sports, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had expressed how his daughter, Ziva Singh Dhoni has changed him as a person. Speaking about fatherhood, Dhoni had stated, "I don't know whether it has changed me as a cricketer, as a person yes of course because daughters are very close to their fathers.

Sakshi Singh Dhoni and Ziva Singh Dhoni always accompany Mahendra Singh Dhoni on his matches and are his constant cheerleaders. Speaking of his routine back then, Dhoni had stated, "I had a wonderful time with her (Ziva), she was there for the whole of IPL and one of her biggest requests used to be I have to go to the ground, that is lawn for her. And also, there are lot of kids in the team. I would get up by 1:30, 2:30 or 3 in the afternoon. Ziva is up by the time, she gets up by 8.30 or 9, have her breakfast, engage with everyone, start playing... I feel it just relaxes us a bit more when the kids are playing with each other. I don't know how much she follows cricket, how much she understands, but I have to bring her one day for the post match presentation and she (can) just start answering all the questions.”
