MS Dhoni had led the Chennai Super Kings to its fifth IPL title in 2023 and a day after traveled to Mumbai to get surgery on his troublesome knee which had been an issue for him during the entire IPL 2023.

After having surgery, Dhoni moved to his farmhouse in Ranchi and has been training and recovering at the JSCA stadium in the city. Apart from that, he has been also seen driving on the roads of Ranchi in his various vintage cars.

A known motor-vehicle aficionado, MS Dhoni has over 20 vintage cars and many more bikes, including some very expensive superbikes as well.

MS Dhoni retired from Test cricket in 2014 after 90 matches and the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand was his last international outing for the Indian team. He called time on his India career on August 15, 2020 after the T20 World Cup that year was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, MS Dhoni has continued to play in the Indian Premier League and won the IPL titles in 2018, 2021 and most recently 2023 for the Chennai Super Kings, leveling with Mumbai Indians for the most IPL title wins at 5.
