MS Dhoni, celebrated as one of cricket’s greatest minds, recently shared his thoughts on social media and public relations during an interaction on Eurogrip Tred Talks. His candid comments can make you imagine that it was a subtle jibe at his successors, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s fans. Despite the great camaraderie Rohit and Kohli share with each other, their fans often try their best to take the opposite superstar down at every chance possible.
What did MS Dhoni say?
Dhoni, known for his no-nonsense approach to cricket and life, revealed his managers often urged him to embrace social media to enhance his brand. However, he steadfastly believed that his on-field performance was enough to earn respect and admiration, dismissing the need for promotional gimmicks.
“I have never been a big fan of social media. Throughout, I have had so many managers and all of them keep pushing. I started playing in 2004; Twitter got popular later on, after which Instagram came in. All the managers told me, ‘you should do some PR, build this and build that’. I had the same answer that if you play good cricket, you don’t need PR,” Dhoni said on Eurogrip Tred Talks.

The CSK management were delighted by MS Dhoni’s confirmation and made it very clear that Thala was a sure-shot retention. Dhoni has been retained for Rs 4 crore by CSK and has taken a pay cut from what he used to earn previously. It remains to be seen how Dhoni would take care of his injuries and fitness in his 18th season of the cash-rich league.
