In an age where social media dominates almost every aspect of public and private life, the legendary Indian cricketer MS Dhoni is apart.
Known for his calm demeanor and straightforward approach, Dhoni has never been one to engage much with social media platforms. His recent comments during the latest episode of Eurogrip Tires’ Tread Talks make clear his preference to stay out of the digital spotlight, despite his unparalleled popularity.
Reflecting on his journey in cricket since his debut in 2004, Dhoni shared how his managers often encouraged him to use social media for PR purposes. However, the former Indian captain, who led the men in blue to victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, believes in letting his performance speak for itself.
“I’ve never been a big fan of social media” Dhoni said. “Throughout my career I have had different managers. I started playing in 2004 and Twitter (now X) became popular a little later, followed by Instagram. All managers would suggest some PR activities, building this or that. But my answer was always the same: if I play cricket well, I don’t need PR.”
Dhoni’s outlook reflects his deep-rooted belief in focusing on his craft rather than seeking attention through digital platforms. His minimal presence on social media stands in stark contrast to the trends followed by most modern athletes, who often use these platforms to engage with fans, promote brands and share insight into their personal lives.
