MS Dhoni Fitness: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is counted among the great captains of India. It was under his captaincy that the Indian team won the T20 World Cup, ICC ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy titles. Apart from this, he has won the IPL trophy five times for the Chennai Super Kings team. He is 43 years old and this time he is ready to play in IPL as an uncapped player. But even before IPL 2025, a statement from Dhoni regarding his fitness has come out.
No longer a fan of social media: Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said in Eurogrip Tyres’ Trade Talks that I have never been a big fan of social media, I had different managers and they kept pushing me. I started playing in 2004, so Twitter and Instagram were becoming popular and managers were saying you should build some PR. This and that, but my answer was the same. If I play good cricket then I don’t need PR. I know that if I take care of cricket, everything else will happen automatically.
Dhoni said a big thing on fitness
Mahendra Singh Dhoni took retirement from international cricket in the year 2020 itself. But he is preparing to play in the 18th season of IPL and he said that I am not as fit as before, now you need to put a lot of effort on what you are eating and I am working very hard to stay fit for cricket. I am doing special work. We are not fast bowlers so our requirements are not that intense.
Playing games helps: Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that playing a lot of games between eating and going to the gym really helps me. So whenever I get time I like to play many different sports, like tennis, badminton, football, which keeps me busy. This is a good way to maintain fitness.
He said that I thought I would get more time, but it is a bit disappointing that I did not get more time. I don’t miss international cricket anymore because I always believe that you take your decisions after thinking. Once you have taken the decision, there is no point in thinking about it. So whatever I have been able to do for my country, I am very happy by the grace of God.
