Bollywood actor Salmam Khan was also present on the occasion. He posted a photo on Instagram with a caption, ‘Happy Birthday Kaptaan Sahab!’
Dhoni, who usually stays away from the buzz of social media, recently congratulated the Indian team on their T20 World Cup win, calling it his special birthday gift.
‘Happy Birthday, Mahi bhai! Wishing you a day as cool as your helicopter shot and as epic as your stumping skills. Have a fantastic one, brotherman,’ former India batter and Dhoni’s good friend Suresh Raina wrote on X.
Fondly known as Thala, Dhoni led India to three ICC trophies and Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles.
Dhoni played 350 ODI matches over a period of a decade and a half and accumulated 10,773 runs at an average of 50.58. In Test cricket, he represented India in 90 matches and scored close to 5,000 runs at an average of 38.09. In the IPL, he has scored over 5,000 runs.
