Indian cricket icon, MS Dhoni, recently graced an event in Bengaluru, sparking a buzz as he delved into topics ranging from cricket to his retirement. Amidst the excitement, the former captain left his fans delighted with priceless relationship advice. Dhoni, who has been off the cricket radar since leading Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL championship earlier this year, had a lot to share with his eager audience.
Dhoni’s Take on Relationships:
At the event, a fan asked Dhoni for his views on romantic relationships. With his trademark humor, he shared a piece of advice that has since gone viral on social media. The 42-year-old legend urged young couples in love to consider marriage, emphasizing that their partners are not fundamentally different from others.
In his own words, “If you find someone that you are really happy with, please do get married. To all the bachelors present over here, those who have a girlfriend, I would like to clear this misconception for you by ending this answer – yeh mat sochna meri wali alag hai (don’t think that your partner is different from others).”

Insight into Dhoni’s Retirement Decision:
Apart from relationship advice, Dhoni also shed light on his retirement from professional cricket. He revealed that the decision to retire was solidified after India’s heartbreaking loss to New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final. Dhoni recalled a conversation with a trainer during which he expressed his reluctance to use a tracking device given to players.
He explained, “It gets difficult to control your emotions when you have lost a close game. And inside, I had made my entire planning. To me, that was the last day I played cricket for India.
I took retirement a year later but the fact is that, that day I had retired. We cricketers are given certain machines and all of that. So every time I went to the trainer I gave it back to him. He said ‘No, you keep it.’ And in my mind, I am like ‘how do I tell him I won’t be needing or using it anymore.’ I didn’t want to announce it at that point in time.”
In a rare public appearance, MS Dhoni shared not only his humorous take on relationships but also a glimpse into the emotional decision behind his retirement from the world of cricket. His wisdom extends beyond the cricket field, making him not just a cricket legend but also a source of valuable life advice for his admirers.
