Despite retiring from international cricket over four years ago, Mahendra Singh Dhoni remains in the news for all his activities off the field. In one of the latest videos surfaced on social media, Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in August 2020, was seen dancing on a Pahadi song named 'Gulabi Sharara'.
The 42-year-old retired as one of the most popular cricketers in the world, garnering respect from the cricketing fraternity for his cricketing nous. He remains the only captain in international cricket to win all three ICC trophies. The Ranchi-born cricketer retired from international cricket after featuring in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is. However, he continues to play in the IPL and is part of the Chennai Super Kings.
Meanwhile, below is the video of Dhoni dancing:
