This was revealed by her during a live Instagram session with MS Dhoni’s Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings, Sakshi said if there isn’t any cricket soon after the lockdown, they will head for a vacation in Uttarakhand.
“Of course for Mahi cricket will be a priority. But if there won’t be any cricket then we are planning to visit the hills in Uttarakhand. We’ll visit some remote village in the hill state and do some trekking. Mahi loves snow and trekking. So, we’ll spend some time in the hills,” Sakshi said.
Both Sakshi and MS Dhoni’s families hail from the hill state of Uttarakhand. Talking about the uncertainty surrounding this year’s IPL Sakshi said, “We are still unsure if this year’s IPL will be held or not. We are just keeping our fingers crossed.”

“Its only rumours! I understand Lockdown has made people mentally unstable! #DhoniRetires .. Get a life ! (sic),” Sakshi wrote on Twitter.
