MS Dhoni might be 43 years old but the former India captain is fit enough to play another season of Indian Premier League (IPL). Having played his last match for India in 2019, the two-time World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020.
Since then, MS Dhoni played his fitness game right to keep on playing IPL every year for Chennai Super Kings. But at a time when most players hang up their boots and take up commentary or coaching gigs, how does the five-time IPL-winning captain keeping his fitness at top notch?
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh revealed what MS Dhoni said on about his fitness at this age ahead of IPL 2025. “I just met him recently at one of our friend’s daughter’s weddings. He looked very fit, solid,” Harbhajan Singh said on ESPNcricinfo.
“I asked him, ‘What you are doing at this age, isn’t it tough?’ He said, ‘Yes, it’s difficult, but this is the only thing I like doing. I find joy in it. I want to do it, go out and play.’ As long as the hunger is there, you will be able to do it. It’s hard without playing any cricket (throughout the year). He is showing how it’s done. He must be doing something better than the others. He is not just surviving, he is dominating all the bowlers,” Harbhajan told ESPNcricinfo.
