"We are trying to impress our wives" - MS Dhoni's hilarious response on the best compliment he has received

Former India captain MS Dhoni was recently asked to share the best compliment he has ever received. The legendary wicket-keeper hilariously suggested that his wife saying he's done alright in his life was the most flattering remark for him.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star made those comments on the show Eurogrip Tread Talks. Suggesting that everyone's main aim is to impress their wives, the 2011 World Cup-winning skipper said:

"A lot of people have complimented me, but my wife saying, 'You have done alright in life', that's a big compliment. She doesn't give a lot of compliments. We are all trying to impress our wives."

It is worth mentioning that MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi attended the same school in Ranchi. However, they never crossed paths during their school days. They met when Sakshi was interning at a hotel and started dating in 2008. The couple tied the knot in 2010. They were blessed with a baby girl, Ziva, in 2015.
