Not Sakshi, but this woman runs Dhoni's Rs 8000000000 company; even ‘Mahi' bows in deep respect, not sister Jayanti, mother Devaki; she is...
You might think the woman who has been integral to the company's success is Sakshi Dhoni, MS Dhoni's wife – but you are wrong. The woman who has actually helped Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited excel is Sheila Devi, Sakshi's mother and MS Dhoni's mother-in-law. Since 2020, she has worked with her daughter as the CEO at Dhoni Entertainment Private Limited. She is not his sister, Jayanti Gupta or mother Devaki; it's someone else… She is…
This company, which began with an Rs 800 crore investment, is led by Sheila Devi. With Sheila in charge, Dhoni Entertainment is rapidly growing and is achieving impressive milestones daily.
Sheila Devi is MS Dhoni's mother-in-law, and as a sign of respect, Dhoni often humbly touches her feet.
According to the media reports, Dhoni ranks second among the top 10 richest cricketers globally by net worth. MS Dhoni's net worth sits at $125 million, which is around Rs 1,040 crore. In first place in this group is former Indian great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar's net worth is about Rs 1,400 crore.

‘We'll chase whatever they set us': Brook backs England to stun India at Edgbaston
The ICC World No. 2 Test batter and England's middle-order mainstay Harry Brook is confident of his team chasing down any total set by the Indian team in the Birmingham Test. India ended Day 3 of the second Test (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy) with a healthy 244-run lead over England with nine wickets left on Friday at Edgbaston. 'I still think we can win this Test match, to be honest. I believe if we take a couple of early wickets tomorrow and put them under pressure and hopefully they can crumble up there and everybody knows in the world that we are going to try and chase whatever they set us, so we'll see how they play,' said Brook to BBC after his marathon 303-run partnership with wicketkeeper batter Jamie Smith. England were looking down the barrels after they left India to score 587 in the first innings. When the day started, Joe Root and skipper Ben Stokes fell on successive deliveries off Siraj, leaving England at 84 for five. From there, Brook and Smith triggered a ruthless counter-attack, taking England past 400 with their 303-run stand. Brook scored 158 before being cleaned up by Akash Deep, while Smith remained unbeaten at 184, reducing the home side's deficit to less than 200. 'It was nice to spend some time out there with Smudge [Jamie Smith]. He has a long England career ahead of him. Hopefully we've clawed ourselves back in the game. He played phenomenally well there. He put all the momentum back in our favour,' said Brook. 'If I hadn't got out we would not be in this situation now but we saw last week how quickly it can change. Akash and Siraj bowled well. They attacked the stumps with all modes of dismissal in play,' he added. In reply, India started their second innings confidently before opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was trapped in front by Josh Tongue. 'Thankfully we've seen the back of Jaiswal and hopefully we can make inroads tomorrow. India are in the driving seat but hopefully we can put pressure with early wickets and make them crumble,' said Brook.

‘Never gotten out to it': Nasser Hussain dissects the Harry Brook shot that makes him a class apart in Test cricket
Harry Brook's stoic counter-attack kept England alive in the fight after their early collapse on Day 3 of the Edgbaston Test against India on Friday. Picking up the side with a record-breaking 303-run partnership alongside Jamie Smith, Brook played second fiddle in the onslaught but not without leaving his own impressions with the 'charge' against the India pacers. Brook patiently coasted to his ninth Test century, becoming the fastest England batter in 96 years since Herbert Sutcliffe (43) to get there in only 44 innings. The young Yorkshireman's Test average consequently moved past 60. At 60.37, Brook holds the second-highest Test average among active players who have played at least 20 innings, also the second among all Englishmen, behind Sutcliffe's 60.73. Former England captain Nasser Hussain was effusive in his praise of how Brook calibrated his innings and described how the sturdy right-hander punishes pacers to maintain the tempo, using a distinct shot-making technique by charging down the pitch. 'For his last three Test hundreds, he has walked to the crease with the scoreboard reading 45 for three, 26 for three and 25 for three here. He clearly deals well with pressure. Yes, on the second evening, he looked frenetic but that was simply because all of England's batsmen's brains were scrambled after 151 overs in the field,' Hussain wrote on his Daily Mail column. 'But the break overnight clearly did him some good, because from the start of that 303-run partnership with Jamie Smith, he was back to his normal, calm and composed self.' Hussain noted how Brook wasn't attempting to play catch-up with Smith even when the India seamers alternated from their short-ball ploy to bowling wide outside the off-stump. "A REAL talent!" 👌 Test century number nine for @Harry_Brook_88! 🏏@IGcom | 🏴 #ENGvIND 🇮🇳 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 4, 2025 'Importantly, he didn't try to keep up with Smith, either. Smith overtook him very quickly, but Brook just kept his own tempo. This was back to Bazball at its smartest.' 'Brook doesn't just play one way. He's a thinking cricketer and although there have been a couple of times that he has been sucked into things he perhaps shouldn't have – he had a couple of brain fades in the 2023 Ashes with the short ball, and then got a bit bored with Sri Lanka tactically bowling wide to him and lost focus – he adapts to playing the shots in his favour,' observed Hussain. Hussain explained how Brook forces bowlers to alternate their plans to his liking while adeptly using the charge, down the track, to hit them off their conventional lengths. 'His charging down the pitch early on Friday to counter the Indian seamers was a case in point. Brook is doing it for a reason. There's a method in that madness. He wants to put bowlers off and the statistics show you that he plays it well: 32 attempts at it have got him 92 runs, and he's never got out to it. 'It's clever batting: he charges because he realises there's a certain length he's uncomfortable with about seven metres down the pitch and when he sees a bowler bowling that length, he advances to hit him off it,' remarked Hussain.
