It's not easy being a cricketer's wife. Constant media attention, media mentions, and extended periods of time away from family are all factors that have an impact on day-to-day life. Sakshi Dhoni, who is married to MS Dhoni, one of India's most famous cricketers, has spoken out about the difficulties of being a cricketers' wife.
Sakshi frequently accompanies Dhoni to the stadiums during his days as an active international cricketer. Sakshi drew parallels between the life of a cricketer's wife and that of other professions' wives, emphasizing how much the former must adapt to keep their husbands stress-free.
"We are proud because they are where they are because they've been chosen out of billions of people and they are the in the game that people love, especially in India. General life changes when you get married and your husband goes to an office. But our husbands go to play sports. So I think you just have to adapt and change according to how they expect you to be and not just sort of stress them out," she said in a video posted by Chennai Super Kings on YouTube.

One of the most difficult issues for celebrities has been maintaining their privacy. It's the same situation for Sakshi. When it comes to going out with friends and trying to live a normal life, she admitted in the video that there is little to no private space outside.
"You don't have your private space and you cannot be like how you are basically in front of cameras right now. Some people are comfortable in front of the camera, some people are not. And especially with the public, they tend to judge you, like especially when you are a cricketer's wife. Even when you are doing something like hanging out with friends and they do talk," she asserted.
Sakshi is likely to be seen cheering for MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2022), which will be held in India. CSK will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match of the new season on March 26.
