India’s legendary captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was spotted having a wholesome meal at a local outdoor setting, possibly a dhaba, with his close friends on the weekend; and the picture has gone viral on social media.
Rooted to his grounded nature, Dhoni has always made himself available to his close friends and even the fans whenever he is approached for a selfie or an autograph despite keeping largely quiet in his private life with family after retiring from international cricket in 2020.
He, however, continues to play the Indian Premier League (IPL), but the 43-year-old icon’s availability for the next season of the IPL is still not sure.

Dhoni, who is the only captain to have won every ICC trophy, has played for the Chennai Super Kings since the inception of the IPL in 2008, except when the franchise was suspended for two years due to the involvement of some of its officials in betting.
The CSK fans hail him as god and have lovingly christened him as ‘Thala’.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni, who quit Test cricket in 2014 and the limited-overs internationals in 2020, led India to wining the T20 World Cup in 2007, ODI World Cup in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013.
Dhoni played 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is for India, scoring 4876, 10773 and 1617 runs respectively, which included 16 centuries in total.
