Mahendra Singh Dhoni's relationship advice to bachelors

The latest viral video circulating on social media serves as evidence that Dhoni excels at providing relationship advice in real life. In this video, the cricketer is seen engaging with a crowd and sharing valuable relationship tips with his unmarried friends. During his advice-giving session, he skillfully dispels any misconceptions they may have regarding their beaus. He says,

“Bachelors, jinki girlfriend hai unka ek misconception hota hai jo ki main clear karna chahunga by ending this answer, Yeh mat sochna ki meri wali alag hai. (Bachelors, who have this misconception and I would like to make it clear to them that, don’t thing your girl is different).”

Despite retiring from international cricket in August 2020, Dhoni's popularity remains as he consistently draws large crowds to stadiums during the two months of the Indian Premier League. In 2023, his presence generated immense enthusiasm, with the stadiums reaching full capacity as he captained the Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, all while dealing with a knee injury.

The 2019 World Cup Semi-Final runout that was a final chapter in Dhoni’s career

The MS Dhoni run-out in the 2019 World Cup semi-final remains etched in the memory of Indian cricket enthusiasts. This dismissal shattered a billion hopes, leading to India's loss and the ICC trophy slipping away. However, for New Zealand, it was a moment of sheer joy, as it proved to be a game-changing wicket in the penultimate over of India's chase.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's heart-wrenching walk back to the pavilion after being run out in the 2019 World Cup semifinal against New Zealand stands as one of Indian cricket's most tragic moments. Just over four years later, he has disclosed that it was that precise instant when he realized his international cricket journey had concluded.

"It is difficult to control the emotions in a close game (especially) when you have lost. Inside, I am done with my planning. To me, that was the last day I played cricket for India (even though) I announced my retirement one year later. But the fact was, that day I retired,” Mahi said during a promotional event for RIGI.
