MS Dhoni’s fitness has always been admired by cricketers and fans. With age catching up, the former India skipper has been struggling to keep his fitness at top level. Recently a video has gone viral on social media where he is seen passionately playing badminton showing no signs of slowing down.
In the clip, Dhoni is seen executing a jump smash with impressive speed and agility. It was surprising to see the athleticism of CSK legend since he had recently recovered from a knee injury sustained during the Indian Premier League 2024 season.

MS Dhoni’s IPL future hangs in balance
While Dhoni is enjoying his time away from cricket his participation in next year’s IPL is still under question.
Speaking at an event recently, MS Dhoni has indicated that his decision to retire or continue playing in the IPL will be influenced by the number of player retentions allowed by the BCCI ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
He said, “There is a lot of time for it. We have to see what decision they take on player retention etc. Right now, the ball is not in our court. So, once the rules and regulations get formalised, I will take a call, but needs to be in the best interest of the team,”
