In the short clip, Dhoni, dressed in his training gear, can be seen seated with his batting pads on and his kitbag placed beside him. After removing his helmet, he picks up his mobile phone, scrolls briefly, and then sets it aside.
Contradicting Earlier Statements?
The sight of Dhoni casually using a phone during training seemed to contradict his past statements about his minimal mobile usage. In 2023, during the launch of the GapUp platform promoted by Rigi, Dhoni remarked, “I do have a phone, but I use it only to set an alarm at night. It does the job of waking me up in the morning.”
This video prompted reactions from fans, some calling out the apparent contradiction. “Lied in the interview saying he doesn’t use phones and only uses it to set an alarm to wake up. Sure!” one fan commented. Another humorously suggested, “Just clearing notifications.”
Fans Admire His Incredible Fitness
However, not all reactions focused on Dhoni’s phone usage. Several fans were in awe of his incredible fitness at 43. One user noted, “Man, he looks super fit and muscular,” while another admired, “Look at the biceps.”
The video comes as Dhoni gears up for IPL 2025, where he is set to captain the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) once again. The franchise retained him for ₹4 crore ahead
