In IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings team had to be out of the playoff race due to the defeat in their last league match and they were out of the tournament. After this match, the discussion regarding MS Dhoni’s retirement intensified. People believe that MS Dhoni is not fit and will not be able to play at this age, but despite approaching 43 years of age, the former captain of India and Chennai Super Kings is excellent in terms of fitness. Recently he has given big hints regarding his fitness. Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he has no option but to keep working hard and stay fit as there is no age relaxation in professional sports.
Why is fitness important for Dhoni?
MS Dhoni has batted very well this season of the Indian Premier League. He made a huge impact with his aggressive batting in the lower order in 14 matches. Dhoni scored 161 runs at an excellent strike rate of 220.55. This led many to believe that he could play for two more years in the IPL. Dhoni also said that it is difficult to come straight to IPL and perform without playing any cricket before the league. In a video going viral on social media, Dhoni said that the most difficult thing is that I am not playing cricket the whole year. That’s why I have to stay fit. When I get here, you are competing against youngsters who are fit and playing international cricket. Professional sport is not easy, no one gives you age relaxation.
How does Dhoni stay away from tension?
Dhoni said in a video posted on Dubai Eye 103.8 YouTube channel that if you want to play, you have to stay fit like other people. In such a situation, a lot of attention has to be paid to eating habits and a little training. Social media has a lot of impact on you but thankfully I am not on social media, so there is less distraction. He said that when I left international cricket, I wanted to spend some more time with my family. I wanted to focus on my passions while staying mentally active. I like farming, for me it’s motorbikes, I’ve started getting into old cars. These things free me from stress. When I’m stressed I’ll probably go to the garage, spend a few hours there and I’ll recover and go back.
