Three of India’s most beloved cricketers—MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Rishabh Pant—recently set the stage on fire, not with their bats or balls, but with an electrifying dance performance. The iconic trio was seen dancing their hearts out at Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant’s wedding. This wasn’t a celebration of their Champions Trophy victory (although they were certainly thrilled), but a heartwarming performance at a joyous family event.
In a viral video circulating on the internet, the cricketers were seen dancing enthusiastically to the soulful Sufi classic Dama Dam Mast Qalandar. The song was being performed live by an artist at the wedding’s sangeet ceremony, where everyone was dressed in their finest ethnic wear. The trio’s carefree and spirited dance moves had fans on social media buzzing, with many admiring their enthusiasm and camaraderie off the field.
Dama Dam Mast Qalandar, a spiritual Sufi qawwali, has had numerous renditions over the years. The iconic tune has been immortalized by legendary Pakistani artists like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen, and Indian singers such as Hans Raj Hans, Mika Singh, and Nooran Sisters have also given their own touch to it.
The wedding festivities are taking place in Mussoorie, where Sakshi Pant is tying the knot with businessman Ankit Chaudhary. As the cricketers let loose, the wedding has become the talk of the town, with their dance performance lighting up social media.
