Cuteness alert! Dhoni in ladoo battle with daughter Ziva

India's cricket ace Mahendra Singh Dhoni has already got into the Diwali mood.

With a break from the game following the conclusion of the limited-overs' series against Australia, the former captain is spending time with his family.

Dhoni, who played in the charity football match 'Celebrity Clasico 2017' -- between sports stars and Bollywood stars in Mumbai on Sunday -- also had some fun with his daughter, Ziva.

With the festival of lights round the corner, he took the opportunity to share a cute video of him having a Besan ka Ladoo (a sweet made of gram flour) with Ziva.

"Attack on besan ka laddoo," was his Instagram post, sharing the video.

Dhoni will spend Diwali with his family before hitting the road again for the upcoming limited-overs' series against New Zealand, which starts with the first ODI in Mumbai on Sunday, October 22.
