MS Dhoni, the esteemed cricket figure, became known as “Captain Cool” for his calm approach during intense match moments. Yet, a flip in his demeanor occurred once he left the pitch. Always ready to entertain, Dhoni’s comedic antics never failed to become front-page news.
Though he’s hung up his cricket gear for good, there’s no taming the adoration for MS Dhoni coursing through the veins of India’s cricket faithful. They’re giddy for Dhoni. His charisma? Captivating. His demeanor? Engaging. And the cherry on top? His wit. His humor is the icing on the cake, sending waves of chatter amongst his followers. It’s Dhoni-mania, I tell you. No breaks on that train.
To give you a hint of his devilish wit, Dhoni was recently questioned about what guidance he would provide to all lads, particularly those who are single. With his clever one-liners, his humorous response demonstrated that, had he not been a cricket player, he would have definitely been a comic. MS Dhoni made the following statement during a marriage and love-themed event:
“So, if you find someone that you are really happy with, please do get married. To all the bachelors present over here who have a girlfriend, I would like to clear up this misconception for you. Don’t ever think meri wali alag hai (don’t think that your partner is different from others).”

With her humorous advise, MS Dhoni had the entire crowd in stitches. His wittiness has caused folks to laugh out loud several times before with his amusing one-liners.
We’ll look at a few occasions in this post where people laughed at MS Dhoni’s lighthearted perspectives on various subjects.
3. “CSK won’t buy me”
Under MS Dhoni’s leadership, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are tied with the Mumbai Indians for the most IPL championships (five) in the competition’s history and have made 12 playoff appearances in 14 IPL seasons.
After defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets at the Chepauk in the 2019 IPL, CSK went to the top of the standings and all but guaranteed a postseason position. When asked during the post-match interview how his side maintains such consistency, Dhoni responded with a cheeky quip: (hindustan times via)
“If I tell everyone what it is, then CSK won’t buy me at the auction. It’s a trade secret.”

Everyone in the stadium was in stitches at Dhoni’s funny remark.
2. “Clash of the Titans”
It’s common knowledge that Dhoni was the one to address Ravindra Jadeja as “Sir,” a term that grew to be associated with the outstanding all-around player. Dhoni used to often utilize the social networking platform Twitter (now X) and joke about a lot on “Sir Jadeja” especially in 2014.
Dhoni once staged a fictitious cricket match between megastar Rajnikant and Jadeja, dubbed “Clash of the Titans.” Using his official X account, he stated:
“If ever Rajni sir had to face sir jadeja’s bowling,the battle would be known as CLASH OF THE TITANS”
It goes without saying that this tweet received a lot of likes and retweets after becoming viral.
1. “Can apply for Australian citizenship”
When questioned about the experience of such a long Australian tour, MS Dhoni gave one of the funniest post-match responses during a heartbreaking 2014 five-test series in Australia. Dhoni immediately responded, declaring his retirement from test cricket (via ANI’s official X)
“Another 20 days here, we could probably apply for citizenship.”

The great guy pulled off yet another post-match sixer, which luckily resulted in laughter from everybody involved rather than just the opponents.
