In a recent interaction, former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was questioned about the possibility of creating YouTube videos, to which the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman candidly confessed that it’s a task beyond his comfort zone. Despite being known for his resilience and adaptability, Dhoni acknowledged that facing the camera is challenging for him due to his inclination towards in-person interactions.
The 42-year-old icon revealed his reservations, citing his conscious nature, and admitted that he is too moody to commit to consistent video production.
In a surfaced video on X (formerly Twitter), Dhoni shared, “Just now I was talking about this. Someone even asked me the same. Woh bolte hai ‘mere se na ho payega’ (I won’t be able to do it), because it’s very tough. I won’t say I am very camera conscious but it doesn’t come to me. So, I am very happy having a one-on-one conversation.”

He further added, “I am more of an in-person kind of a man. When it comes to YouTube, I don’t think I will be able to do it. Plus I am moody. It might happen that I will make three-four videos, then like my Instagram, put another video after one year.”
MS Dhoni said – “I don’t think I can run YouTube channel. I am kind of a person who can post 2-3 videos in a day and then disappear from social media for 1 year (smiles)”. pic.twitter.com/rsLLkczacj
