MS Dhoni attended India’s semi-final match against England in Mumbai.

India edged past England in the semi-final 2 of the T20 World Cup 2026. In this thrilling encounter, many celebrities arrived at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to support India, who are trying to retain their T20 World Championship title.

Amidst all this glitz and glamour, one man caught the attention of the fans, and that was none other than former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni was spotted in the stands at Wankhede Stadium during India’s semi-final clash against England.

The former captain was in Mumbai that morning to attend Arjun Tendulkar’s wedding, and after that, he attended the match. After Dhoni’s appearance at the Wankhede Stadium, fans are excited to see him in the T20 World Cup 2026 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, March 8.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni reached Ahmedabad early morning of March 8. The former Indian captain was spotted before the India vs New Zealand final match. Dhoni was under tight security upon his arrival at the Ahmedabad airport.

In a video posted on social media platforms, Dhoni can be seen walking at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad. After watching the video, it seems that Dhoni is likely to be present in the final.

On seeing the video of Dhoni’s arrival in Ahmedabad, fans were happy to see the former World Cup-winning captain arriving to support the team. The fans think this could be positive news for the Suryakumar Yadav-led India.

Dhoni’s presence at the Wankhede Stadium was, in a way, a bit surprising. Mahi has always been a man of few words after he retired from international cricket. Dhoni was present at the semi-final with his wife, Sakshi, and other celebrities such as Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Anil Kapoor.

Mahi led a young Indian team to the first-ever T20 World Cup title in 2007, when they defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. If Dhoni attends the T20 World Cup 2026 final, it would be a big morale booster for Team India as they face a tough challenge against New Zealand.
