MS Dhoni opened up on Sakshi Dhoni, his dislike for social media and other topics ahead of the IPL 2025 season next year.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a very devoted husband and family man these days. Dhoni has been seen enjoying the Christmas vacations with wife Sakshi Dhoni and daughter Ziva Singh Dhoni in Dubai.
On the latest episode of an online talk show, ‘Tread Talks’ on the Eurogrips Tyres official YouTube channel, Dhoni opened up about plenty of things. One of the questions that Dhoni was asked on the ‘Tread Talks’ show was about the ‘best compliment’ the former India captain had ever received.
Dhoni took a moment to answer the question and said, “My wife saying ‘You have done alright in life’ – that is a big compliment as she doesn’t give much compliment – we all are trying to impress our wife”.

The former captain of the Chennai Super Kings franchise was also about his decision to stay away from social media platforms. The 43-year-old said that he has never been a fan of social media.
“I have never been a big fan of Social Media – through out I have had different managers – I started playing in 2004, twitter was almost got popular slightly later on then Instagram came – all the managers are like we should some PR, build this, build that so I looked at all and told the same answer, if I play good cricket, I don’t need PR,” Dhoni said on the talk show.
MS Dhoni would never take Suresh Raina as ‘bike-riding’ partner
On the talk show, Dhoni also revealed why he would never take former India and Chennai Super Kings teammate Suresh Raina as a bike-riding partner.
“In the sense, you know, to put it very simply, in a motorcycle, unlike a car, you know, whether it’s your fault or not, if there’s an accident or if you fall, you will get hurt and most of the athletes, they are very worried about their joints, especially knees and elbows,” Dhoni said.
“Most of the players, they stay away from it. But people who have sat with me on a bike and we have been on a ride, I can pick one who I would not, you know, take as a companion and that would be Suresh Raina because, you know, he starts moving. So, if he sees a truck, you know, getting close, he starts to move along,” the CSK wicketkeeper added.
Dhoni has taken a massive pay-cut to play for CSK in the IPL 2025 season. The former India wicketkeeper was retained for just Rs 4 crore by CSK as an ‘uncapped’ player ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
