In a world where social media influences almost everything, cricket legend MS Dhoni stays different. Dhoni is widely known for his composure and blunt style. In fact, he has always maintained a distance from social media. Amidst his unprecedented popularity, recent comments on the latest episode of Tread Talks by Eurogrip Tyres have revealed his preference to avoid the digital limelight. Reflecting on his cricketing journey since his debut in 2004, Dhoni shared how his managers often encouraged him to utilize social media for public relations purposes. However, the former Indian captain, who led the Men in Blue to victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, believes in letting his performance speak for itself.

His social media presence is a stark contrast to the trend most modern athletes have followed. They use social media to interact with fans, endorse brands, and share a few glimpses of their personal lives. Here is what MS Dhoni said to Tread Talks “I have never been a big fan of social media,” Dhoni said. “Throughout my career, I have had different managers. I started playing in 2004, and Twitter (now X) became popular slightly later, followed by Instagram. All the managers would suggest some PR activities, building this or that. But my response was always the same: if I play good cricket, I don’t need PR.” Dhoni, who is all of 43, is expected to return to the cricket field in the Indian Premier League 2025. Chennai Super Kings, the franchise he has led to multiple championships, retained him ahead of the mega-auction as an uncapped player for 4 crore. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return as he continues to defy age and redefine longevity in professional sports.
