Former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni is making the most of his time during the nationwide lockdown. He has had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with his family and friends as the forced break due to the novel coronavirus came just before he was set to return from his sabbatical.
From driving tractors to taking Ziva on indoor bike rides, MS has been able to stay away from the spotlight despite rumors being spread of him announcing his retirement from international cricket. His wife Sakshi Singh Rawat has played a crucial role when it comes to showing glimpses of the Indian stalwart’s life in lockdown and keeping his fans posted.

Sakshi shared about Dhoni’s love for bikes in a recent interaction with sports presenter Rupa Ramani for Chennai Super Kings. She revealed how Dhoni modified his own bikes during the lockdown. She said, “Mahi has 9 bikes. He opened them up, he bought parts and assembled them. He was assembling a bike and fully assembled it and he forgot to put one part and the next day he had to open the bike and he had to do it all over again.”

Dhoni has not played international cricket since the World Cup in 2019. Sakshi shed light on why Dhoni has shied away from being active on social media and talking about the crisis situation during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sakshi elaborated, “Mahi won’t come and talk on Insta live. He has had pressure to post videos on Coronavirus and all but he hasn’t because if your PM has said something, you jolly well follow it. This is the reason why he hasn’t come and stated anything on social media.”
