Legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni has recently shared which is his favourite social media platform. However, he has always been away from it and also he has maintained a low-key profile on these platforms as well. Recently, he opined on his less active digital presence. As the IPL 2024 season is near to a close, speculations were rising that this could be Dhoni’s last season with CSK.
“I prefer Instagram over Twitter. Twitter, I believe that nothing good has happened over Twitter. You know, especially in India, there is always a controversy. Somebody will write something, and it turns into a controversy. I was like, you know, why do I need to be there? You know, it used to be 140 characters. You cannot elaborate. Imagine me putting something over there, and then it is left up to the people to read it, and they just interpret what they want to interpret,” said Dhoni on the Dubai Eye 103.8 YouTube channel.

MS Dhoni also expressed that he consciously limits his presence on Instagram, as he said that less distractions in life are preferable. However, he occasionally shares glimpses of his personal life too.
“So, I’m like, no, no, that’s not really for me. Instagram still, I like it because, you know, I could put up my picture or a video or something and just leave it. That is also changing now. So I still prefer Instagram, but I am not very active because, I don’t know, I feel, you know, less distractions are better, but in between, on and off, I will put something for the fans, you know, so that they know, okay, I am somewhere good, you know, in good hands. So I am doing what I like,” he added.

However, despite undergoing knee surgery last year, Dhoni still played all 14 games of the season and scored 161 runs. He seemed to be at his usual best from the moment he stepped onto the field with the bat in IPL 2024. He played with an impressive average of 53.66 and a strike rate of 220.54 as well.
