One year of the Dhoni-Sakshi innings

New Delhi: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni broke a million hearts when he married childhood friend Sakshi Singh Rawat a year ago on July 4, 2010 in a private ceremony attended only by family members and close friends.

On Monday, Dhoni celebrates his first wedding anniversary with his wife, a hotel management student.

A year ago, the wedding at the picturesque Vishranti Resorts at Bidhauli, about 25km from Dehra Dun, was strictly a private affair with only 50-60 close relatives from both the families of the bride and the groom, along with few of Dhoni's India team-mates, attending.

Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 ICC World Cup Twenty20, CB Series of 200708, the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2008 beating Australia 20 and most importantly the World Cup. Sakshi was seen hugging her husband at the prize distribution and media event post the monumental victory.
