Though Mumbai Indians have won most of the IPL matches, CSK and Dhoni have their own fan following who are completely crazy for them. But Mahendra Singh Dhoni the ‘Captain Cool’ is a true animal lover. He and his wife Sakshi are parents to several dogs and horses. They have a Belgian Malinois, two white Huskies and a Dutch Shepherd with whom they spend quality time at their farmhouse. Similarly, Deepak Chahar, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ben Stokes from CSK are equally crazy for pets.
MS Dhoni:
Deepak has a lab named Denzo and is often seen sharing photos and videos on Instagram, while Sir Jadeja is an animal lover too; he has dogs, horses, rabbits, pigeons and fish, Ben Stokes is a 32-year all-rounder from England playing for CSK and is very active on Instagram with his pets Shelby and Sampson with whom fans have seen him and his family spending quality time very frequently.

Mumbai Indians are at the top of the list and with millions of followers, they are also the second-most popular IPL team with the star players such as Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav; Being one of the clean strikers and record breaker, Ro-HIT is also a pet parent who loves dogs a lot, he had a beloved Beagle named Magic who recently passed away and he dedicated his half-century against ODI with Sri Lanka to him.
Rohit:
Suryakumar Yadav who is ruling our hearts has two dogs Pablo and Oreo who are Frenchie. Suryakumar’s Instagram is flooded with posts of him and his fur babies which shows his bond with them. In one of the posts, he also calls him, “Mera dost Mera yaar Mera beta Mera bhai Aur sabse badkar tu meri jaan hai”.

Another famous celebrity cricketer from England and Mumbai Indians is Jofra Archer, during one of the matches the fast bowler was injured which truly made his fan worried about his return to international cricket, but do you know who came to his rescue? He brought home, five American pit bulls who helped him recover from the career-threatening accident.

Though Royal Challengers Bangalore has been in the limelight for memes and humour about their poor performance, the team’s real charm belongs to Virat Kohli. The one who doesn’t leave a single chance to impress the cricket fans with his centuries and girls with his handsome looks is an extreme pet lover. We all know Virat has lost his Bruno (Beagle) but we have recently seen him happy posing with a street dog in Bhutan during his trip. Both Virat and Anushka are found to be an animal lover and spends time with their furry friends.
