Saif Ali Khan, son Taimur share stands with MS Dhoni at Lord's for India-England series decider
London, July 19
Actor Saif Ali Khan was spotted at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday, accompanied by his son Taimur Ali Khan, as they watched the third and final ODI between India and England.
The father-son duo was seen enjoying the high-stakes series decider from the stands. Saif shared a seating area with former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his wife, Sakshi Dhoni. Actor Kriti Sanon was also present, joining the group to watch the action unfold.
Saif looked dapper in a well-tailored olive green blazer paired with a light blue shirt and a striped tie. He completed his look with a yellow pocket square and a neatly trimmed beard. Taimur kept it casual in a light blue shirt as the two closely followed the action on the field.
Pictures and videos from the stadium soon surfaced on social media, with fans excited to see the celebs together at one of cricket's most famous venues.
Coming to the match, England captain Harry Brook won the toss and opted to bat first in the series-deciding ODI at Lord's. India faced an early setback ahead of the crucial contest, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ruled out due to a knee injury.
Playing XI India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna.

It's great to see such enthusiasm for cricket across generations in India. Lord's always brings the magic and seeing these personalities together is a nice bonus. Hope Taimur inherits that calmness from Dhoni!
Dhoni and Saif Ali Khan in the same frame – two legends of their craft! Could have done without the kids photos being splashed everywhere though. Focus on the cricket, not celebrity spotting. India's playing XI looks thin without Bumrah... let's see.
Lord's is such an iconic venue... when I saw this picture on Instagram, I felt so proud seeing our stars there! Taimur is growing up so fast, he'll probably be captain in 20 years at this rate. 😉 Scary that we're without Bumrah for this decider though.
Fascinating mix of Bollywood and cricket royalty at Lord's! Saif's outfit is very classic — olive green blazer, pocket square... Actually better than most players' wardrobe that day. On a serious note, Bumrah's absence is a big blow, let's hope our bowling attack steps up.
Why do we always turn a cricket match into a red carpet event? 😅 Taimur's constant media coverage is a bit much, poor kid can't just enjoy a day out. Respect to Dhoni for keeping it simple and watching the game without drama. Let's focus on the series decider! 🇮🇳
