Rajeev Shukla Reveals MS Dhoni's Stance on Joining Politics
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the most successful captains of Indian cricket, recently sparked a new discussion whether he is going to contest the Lok Sabha elections? Many rumors also surfaced about this, but now BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has made a big disclosure on the matter.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2019, but he still captains Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. His popularity has not diminished even today, and that is why many people believe that he can succeed if he steps into politics.
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla spoke candidly on the issue during a podcast. He said that Dhoni can become a good politician, but it will be completely his personal decision whether he will take a step in this direction or not. Shukla also said that when there were rumours of Dhoni contesting the Lok Sabha elections, he himself asked him about it.
What is Dhoni's intention to go into politics?
Rajeev Shukla said in a conversation with YouTuber Ranvir Allahbadia,
"I think Dhoni can come into politics, but it completely depends on his will. His popularity is very high, so if he comes to politics, he can be successful. But, when I asked Dhoni directly if he is going to contest the Lok Sabha elections, he flatly refused and said 'no, no, no'. ”
Why does Dhoni stay away from the limelight?
Dhoni has always been known for his calm nature and low-profile lifestyle. Rajeev Shukla also discussed about this and said,
"Dhoni prefers to stay away from the limelight. He also does not carry a mobile phone, which makes it very difficult to contact him. Even the BCCI selectors did not find it easy to talk to him. He is not a monk, but whatever he does, there is a lot of seriousness in it. ”
Can Dhoni join politics in the future?
At the moment, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has no intention of joining politics. However, given his popularity and his strong image among the public, it can be said that if he comes to politics in the future, his journey can also be as successful as cricket. At the moment, Dhoni will be seen captaining Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024, and fans will be expecting another explosive season from him.
