[WATCH]- MS Dhoni Goes All Out For IPL 2026 With Match Sims, Gym & Power-Hitting

MS Dhoni continues to be a massive social-media attraction. Whether he’s cruising in luxury cars or casually riding his bike through Ranchi, even his everyday moments quickly go viral. The former India captain frequently heads to the JSCA International Stadium for training, giving fans occasional glimpses of him driving in.

With IPL 2026 nearing, Dhoni has been consistently putting in the hard work as he prepares for another season in the lucrative league. For the past two months, he has been regularly visiting the JSCA facility for strength and conditioning sessions to stay in top shape.

According to a JSCA official, Dhoni spends time in the gym, performs power-hitting drills with the bat, and takes part in match-simulation exercises whenever possible. He wraps up his routine with a thirty-minute swimming session, completing an intense and well-rounded training regimen.

“His routine has been fixed for the last two months. He comes to the stadium at 1:30 pm, hits the gym for an hour, then pads up and does power-hitting training in the nets for two hours.”

“If the centre wicket is available and no match is happening, he also does match simulations. Mahi signs out after a swimming session for another half an hour. He leaves the complex at 6 pm,” a JSCA official said on the condition of anonymity, as per TOI.
