Reality of a lot of south asian players. Look at Prithvi Shaw, he has hair loss and he is just 21(or 22). I have relatives in Ranchi, and they have known Dhoni’s family. They say that Dhoni is atleast 5 years older than his official age.

Most Afghan cricketers are 4-5 years older than their official age. Mujeeb and a few are exceptions i think. Max 1 year.
