Mahendra Singh Dhoni isn’t just a former India captain. He’s a whole feeling. For millions, he’s still the ever-calm ‘Captain Cool’ who lifted Indian cricket to new heights and created a legacy that refuses to fade. And if there’s one thing fans know beyond his match-winning instincts, it’s his crazy love for cars and bikes.
MS Dhoni’s Ranchi garage is basically an automotive museum, packed with vintage machines and superbikes that any enthusiast would dream of owning. Recently, Dhoni made headlines again, this time not for his cricketing exploits but for a heartwarming fan moment. A video went viral, showing him checking out a stunning red Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 before casually signing the fuel tank.
The bike costs around ₹3.32 lakh, but after that, what’s the signature? Fans joked it’s basically worth crores now. Before leaving, Dhoni added a classic Mahi touch by telling the owner, “Chala ke report dena,” asking him for a review after the ride. Pure gold.

The clip has crossed 52 million views, and Dhoni himself joined the fun by responding in the comments with: “Ride With Mahi?” Fans naturally lost it. Reactions ranged from “How lucky” to cheeky takes like “Bike has become from 3 lakh to 30 crore.” His salt-and-pepper look also sparked nostalgia across social media, with fans saying it hurts to see their childhood heroes ageing. Chennai Super Kings loyalists flooded the comments too, proudly reminding everyone why he’s “Thala for a reason.”

Dhoni’s love affair with motorcycles goes way back to his early international days. His Ranchi farmhouse garage features a jaw-dropping lineup including the Kawasaki Ninja H2, Confederate X132 Hellcat, Harley Davidson FatBoy, Ducati 1098, Yamaha RD350, Suzuki Shogun, BSA Goldstar, Norton Jubilee 250 and the TVS Apache RR 310, among many others. And it’s not just bikes; he was recently spotted cruising around town in a vintage Rolls-Royce.
