MS Dhoni is one of the fittest cricketers in the world. In his long playing career, which is still going very strong, Dhoni has played non-stop cricket across all three formats of the game and still managed to keep himself fit for almost every game.
From past 12 years or so, Dhoni has been India’s first choice wicketkeeper. When he was playing Test cricket, selectors didn’t look anywhere else for the role of wicketkeeper-batsman because there was no one better than MS Dhoni.
After his retirement from Test cricket, Wriddhiman Saha has been given the responsibility but when it comes to limited-overs cricket, he is still the boss behind the stumps.
A section of journalists and fans have been saying that MS Dhoni has reached the last phase of his career and he is more the powerhouse he used to be. But, MS Dhoni, in his trademark style, has been answering them with his performances on the field.
One of the biggest reasons why Dhoni has managed to stay at the top of his game for such a long period of time is- HIS FITNESS. In the ongoing eleventh season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2018), Dhoni is, once again, leading Chennai Super Kings and he has been in very good form with the bat.
In the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Wednesday, MS Dhoni once again showed to his fans that he is one of the fittest cricketers in the world, despite being on the other side of the thirties. When a RCB batsman edged a delivery and it went sailing over MS Dhoni’s head, the CSK captain sprinted as fast as could with his keeping pads and saved a certain boundary.
MS Dhoni’s effort became an instant on social media and here is how Twitterati reacted:
They Said Dhoni is 36 Year Old , His Fitness Level is Dam Dam High .
