Will SRK play Cupid to Dhoni and Deepika

Dhoni’s bowled over by Deepika!

His super sixes have sent the nation full of cricket crazy fans into a tizzy, but there’s more news on the dashing Mahendra Singh Dhoni off-field, too.

The ace batsman has been bowled over. Hang in here... because it’s only a lovely lady we’re talking about. Sources reveal that Mahi is quite charmed by the ‘D’ gal, the newest Bollywood hottie Deepika Padukone.

Apparently he has a huge crush on her and has even asked his journo friends about the lovely lady. In fact, a birdie goes on to say that recently Dhoni asked SRK about when he could see a special screening of Om Shanti
Om.

Director Farah Khan, tongue-in-cheek, said when asked to confirm the tidbit, “Why don’t you ask Deepika if she is a cricket fan?” Even King Khan was flattered to know that the Indian captain was such a fan, not that the razor-sharp actor didn’t know where this shot was coming from.

With badminton champ’s daughter, a cricketer and a screen hockey coach — this could be one ‘match’ we wouldn’t want to miss. And if you were to ask us... we’d say Dhoni is on a good wicket!
