[WATCH] “Are Mobile Niche Karo” – MS Dhoni Responds To A Viral Video Capturing Him During A Vacation

CSK captain MS Dhoni is enjoying a family vacation in Uttarakhand before the IPL 2024 auction. Despite being former India captain, he continues to demonstrate his lack of social media presence.

In a video posted on X, Dhoni was observed requesting individuals to refrain from recording as he took a call. This occurred while the 42-year-old awaited companions, suggesting they were about to embark on a hike. He conveyed:

“Are mobile niche karo. (Please, take down the mobile)”

In a different video, Dhoni playfully responded to a woman extending a traditional welcome to his wife Sakshi. He remarked:

“Wo to chu liya aapne, photo nahi liya to aap dubara chuoge (You already touched her, but they didn’t click the photo. So, you’ll do it again.)”

In a 2018 interview, Dhoni disclosed that he seldom utilized his mobile phone. He stated (as reported by DNA):

“Me and technology, there is a big divide. I don’t use phones so much and there are a lot of stories I don’t pick up phones. But I do use technology as well. Technology has to be used in the right way.”

“If he can avoid having the phone in his hand, he will do it” –  When Ravi Shastri shared insights about MS Dhoni

Ex-India head coach Ravi Shastri, in a past interview, disclosed that MS Dhoni refrained from using mobile phones. He conveyed this information during a conversation with Shoaib Akhtar on Akhtar’s YouTube channel.

“If he can avoid having the phone in his hand, he will do it. Honestly, till today, I don’t have his number. I never asked for it. I know he hardly has his phone. And if you have to get in touch with him, you know how to. I am saying he’s that kind of a person.”

Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle also shared that reaching Dhoni through phone is nearly impractical. He mentioned this in an interview with Times Now.

“You can never call him on the phone. I have met Dhoni only once socially. In all these years, I have met him only once. Because you cannot get in touch with him. He doesn’t carry a mobile phone. He’s got a mobile phone that only a very very close people know the number.”

MS Dhoni retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, yet remains active in the IPL. His future plans are anticipated to be determined post the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai scheduled for December 19.
