MS Dhoni Blown Away By Fan's Superbike, Takes It Off For A Spin After Autographing: Watch (Source: X)
Former CSK captain MS Dhoni gave a fan a moment to cherish after he signed an autograph on his Royal Enfield superbike. Dhoni and his love for bikes is world known. The veteran cricketer boasts of a varied collection of bikes in his garage. Dhoni was fascinated by the fan's bike and took it off for a spin soon after autographing it. Dhoni had a good look at the bike and decided to have a ride. Dhoni asked the fan to sit on the backseat as he took it off for a spin.
Despite all the success Dhoni achieved in his career, he remains one of the most humble cricketers out there and always ensures he repays all the love and respect he gets from the fans.
Meanwhile, MS Dhoni was retained by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as an uncapped player. There were a lot of speculations around MS Dhoni's participation in IPL 2025, however, when the uncapped player rule was re-introduced in the T20 extravaganza, it was almost certain that Dhoni would be available to play the IPL. Dhoni also took a massive pay cut for IPL 2025. Dhoni was retained by CSK for INR 4 crore, which is 66 percent less than his previous salary of INR 12 crore.
CSK retained a total of five players ahead of the mega auction with the top retention going to 2 players - skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja, with both getting Rs 18 Cr each. Matheesha Pathirana (Rs 13 Cr), and Shivam Dube (Rs 12 Cr) were the other retentions along with MS Dhoni.
