Cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as "Captain Cool," added a touch of stardom to Mumbai's Ganesh Chaturthi celebration as he joined the city's residents in welcoming Lord Ganesha with fervor.
Dhoni's participation in the festivities left fans thrilled, and a video capturing his presence has gone viral on social media.
Dhoni, who is often the center of attention wherever he goes, arrived in Mumbai on September 20, a day after the nation marked Ganesh Chaturthi.
While the exact location remains unknown, a video posted on social media showcased the cricketer in an all-black ensemble, making his way into the procession.
The video quickly garnered immense traction on social media.
Since its posting, the video has already accumulated over 70,000 views and received more than 3,000 likes.
Dhoni, who recently led CSK to their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title, exhibited unwavering dedication during the tournament, despite struggling with a knee injury.
After the conclusion of the IPL, he sought medical attention for his injured knee and underwent surgery at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai to ensure a full recovery.
As the ICC ODI World Cup is set to return to Indian soil this year, fans are hopeful that the current captain, Rohit Sharma, and his team can replicate the glory of Dhoni's 2011 World Cup-winning squad.
The Men in Blue will kick off their World Cup campaign with a high-stakes clash against Australia on October 8.
