MS Dhoni's sprawling Ranchi farmhouse is home to many creatures great and small

The animal-loving cricketer is a social media recluse

But his wife Sakshi often shares glimpses of their life with furry friends

Dhoni is very fond of dogs - his favourite is a Belgian Malinois named Sam

"I think Sam knows she is my favourite so she takes the liberty of troubling everyone," he once wrote

Besides the dogs, the Dhoni family also has a pet macaw

A magnificent bird named Honey

Their Shetland pony is often spotted galloping across the greens

And last year, they welcomed Chetak to their home

Instagram/sakshisingh_r [{ "selector": ".vcotg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-324px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".zwrnh-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".fsicx-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

He was happily accepted into the pack

Sakshi and Mahi also have several other pets

Including a bunny

Then, of course, there are the visitors to their garden

With so many animals around, they tend to lose count
