This was many many years ago when Kollywood actors Nayanthara and Thalapathy vijay were chosen as the brand ambassadors for IPL. So, during the inaugural session, Vijay and Dhoni actually met along with the actor's son in tow. This memorable moment was captured by cricketer Matthew Hayden who shared the picture to mark MS Dhoni's birthday today. Have a look...

When the cricketer shared the picture on Instagram, fans of actor Vijay as well as MSD commented and liked the photo and also circulated the picture on social media extensively.

Ms Dhoni is chilling out at his Ranchi home with wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva while Vijay is awaiting the release of his next titled Master helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The director's last venture Kaithi starring Karthi was a blockbuster.
