Star Sports where Dhoni revealed his secrets. He said, as quoted by the sports channel, "According to some of them it was one of the most absurd time-table one could have but over the years it only helped me.
Five-seven days before the IPL starts, I would start thinking like that and I would start training my mind like that. The plus point we had that we used to try to catch the flight that was after 12."

By the time you reach back to the hotel, it's almost 1-1:15. After that you have to pack your belongings in the hotel, leave the kit bag outside and by the time you do all of that, it's pretty late, let's say around 2:30," he added.
Dhoni also revealed that due to the nature of the IPL matches, his sleep time has changed to 3 pm to 11 am. "So instead of sleeping from 10 pm to 6 am or 11 pm to 7 am, I would sleep from 3 am to 11 am.
So the minimum 8 hours sleep that I need, that I have to do for sure. I was always well-rested at night, never felt fatigued after the IPL got over," Dhoni concluded in the video.Milestone Alert!
