In an age where social media dominates almost every aspect of public and private life, India's legendary cricketer. MS Dhoni it varies.
Known for his calm and straightforward approach, Dhoni has never been a fan of social media. His recent comments on the latest episode of Tread Talks and Eurogrip Tires highlight his tendency to stay away from the digital landscape, despite its unparalleled popularity.

However, the former India captain, who led the Men in Blue to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, believes in letting his performance speak for itself.
“I've never really liked social media,” Dhoni said. “Throughout my career, I have had different managers. I started playing in 2004, and Twitter (now X) became popular after that, followed by Instagram. All managers can suggest some PR activities, make this or that. But my answer was always the same: if I play good cricket, I don't need a PR. “

His limited presence on social media is very different from the activities followed by many modern athletes, who often use these platforms to connect with fans, promote products, and share their thoughts on life.
