Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni spread festive cheer within his family by dressing up as Santa Claus for their Christmas celebrations. His wife, Sakshi, shared delightful photos from the family gathering, which quickly garnered attention on social media. The cricket legend, donning a classic Santa outfit, celebrated the holiday alongside his wife and daughter, Ziva, making the occasion truly memorable.

The family was dressed in traditional Christmas colours of red and white, radiating warmth and joy as they embraced the holiday spirit. Fans have expressed admiration for Dhoni’s playful side, with the adorable pictures adding yet another cherished moment to the cricket icon’s legacy.

As the festive season unfolds, cricket enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to Dhoni’s next appearance during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). The talismanic player for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) remains an irreplaceable asset for the franchise. Under his captaincy, CSK clinched their record-equaling fifth IPL title in 2023, solidifying Dhoni’s reputation as one of the greatest captains in IPL history.

Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Dhoni was retained by CSK as an uncapped player for just Rs 4 lakh, highlighting his unwavering dedication to the team and his humility. While rumors about his retirement have circulated since he passed the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad prior to IPL 2024, the “Thala” of Indian cricket has not made any official announcement regarding his future plans.

Speculation about Dhoni’s retirement has sparked discussions among fans and cricket analysts alike. Many believed the 2024 season could signify the conclusion of his illustrious career following CSK’s successful IPL 2023 season. However, without any formal statement from the legend, the prospect of witnessing another “Thala” season in 2025 remains a possibility.

Dhoni’s festive portrayal as Santa Claus has brought joy to fans across the globe, showcasing the gentle side of a cricketing great whose influence extends beyond the sport. During an event in Hyderabad this month, the former CSK skipper spoke on playing in the IPL and he would wait for the player regulations before taking the call.

A viral video shared on X has sparked concerns regarding the safety measures employed by OLA Cabs for their passengers. The footage, which has since circulated widely online, features a cab driver from Mumbai watching omelette-making recipe videos while navigating a busy road. The passenger, who recorded the video and posted it on his X account, criticized OLA for the driver’s reckless behavior.

An X user known as Dark Knight shared the video, stating, “Dear Ola, your driver is learning how to cook an omelette while driving, risking our lives. With your scooters already facing issues like catching fire, I hope you implement corrective measures before this situation escalates further.”

In addition to condemning the driver’s actions, he also noted the ongoing problems with OLA’s scooters spontaneously igniting, which have resulted in numerous customer complaints. Dark Knight urged the company to take immediate action regarding this current issue.

Mumbai Police acknowledged the viral video and responded to the user’s post, writing, “Please share the exact location so we can inform @MTPHereToHelp.”

As of now, there have been no reports of legal consequences for the cab driver. Nonetheless, this incident highlights a significant concern about distracted driving in busy areas. The driver’s negligence could potentially lead to a serious accident, jeopardizing both the passengers’ safety and that of other road users.

The video, taken by Khule while seated in the backseat, shows the driver’s phone positioned next to the steering wheel, playing a reel on how to make an omelette. He can be seen swiping up for the next video, which features clips from the TV show Big Boss, all while continuing to drive.

In his criticism of the driver, Khule also called attention to the frequent incidents of OLA scooters catching fire, emphasizing the need for the company to address the growing number of customer complaints.

After the video gained traction, OLA Support responded to Khule, requesting additional details about the cab driver to facilitate an investigation. They stated, “We find this matter deeply concerning, Rohan. Please share the CRN of this ride via DM so we can investigate and assist you as soon as possible.”
