Watch: MS Dhoni and Anant Ambani enjoy carnival rides amid Navratri celebrations- Video goes viral

A video has surfaced on social media platforms and gone viral which shows MS Dhoni enjoying the Navratri festivities with Anant Ambani in Jamnagar. The clip has also featured a light-hearted moment between the former World Cup-winning Indian captain and the Reliance Industries heir at a carnival at the Reliance Greens.  

Dhoni hasn’t been in action on the cricket field for more than a year, with his last game coming against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 25 during the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He didn’t play a single game of the 2026 edition of the franchise tournament.

Anant moves to try the rotating cabin attraction as he appears in good spirits and encourages the Ranchi-born to join him for the experience. The wicket-keeper batter gestures that he won’t be able to handle it and may vomit at the end.
