MS Dhoni: After helping Candy Crush Saga become the number one trending topic on Twitter, it seems Khichdi will now become number one hit among netizens due to MS Dhoni. Virender Sehwag, who was one of the members to unveil the ICC ODI World Cup Schedule in Mumbai, revealed that Dhoni used to eat only Khichdi during the ODI World Cup in 2011. Despite the former India captain’s low returns in the showpiece event, he continued to eat Khichdi due to India winning games.
Virender Sehwag: “MS Dhoni only ate khichdi throughout the 2011 World Cup. Everyone was being superstitious during the entire tournament.” Everyone has different superstitions, and for Dhoni, it was this particular dish. The faith in Khichdi finally paid off for the wicketkeeper batter after he smashed a match-winning unbeaten 91 in the final against Sri Lanka and brought the Wankhede and the whole of Indian people on his feet.

MS Dhoni: ‘Dhoni played with a knee injury in 2011 World Cup Sehwag’s massive revelation
Not only that, Sehwag also said Dhoni played with knee injury and that’s why Sachin Tendulkar was lifted by young players like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina.
“MS Dhoni had a knee injury, I had a shoulder injury. So we gave the burden to lift Sachin Tendulkar to the youngsters after winning the World Cup.”
The ODI World Cup 2023 will kick off from October 5 in Ahmedabad. Finalists from the last edition England and New Zealand will play the first match. The showpiece event will be played across 10 venues in India. Overall 48 matches will be played with the final being held on November 19 in Ahmedabad. As all other cricket fans, Sehwag is also looking forward to the blockbuster India vs Pakistan on October 15.
Virender Sehwag: “Of course, I’m looking forward to India vs Pakistan. Also, I’m looking to win the social media banter against Shoaib Akhtar on social media too.”
