Slightly older than Dhoni, Jayanti was instrumental in fostering her brother’s cricket love. When their father was reluctant to accept their desire, she stood beside him with unrelenting encouragement and support.
Jayanti, like her family, would rather remain in the background. According to reports, she is married to Gautam Gupta, a close friend of Dhoni, and works as an English teacher at a public school in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Gupta also had a big influence on Dhoni’s early cricket career, providing him with crucial encouragement when he started out as a state and district cricket player.
