🏍He has a garage full of motorcycles, a passion which dates back to his college days when he owned Rajdoot.

😂👻Being remembered by his colleagues as a very honest and straightforward employee, he also had a mischievous side to his personality. Once, while staying at the railway quarters, Dhoni and a couple of his friends covered themselves in white bedsheets and walked around in the complex late in the night. The night guards were fooled into believing that there were ghosts moving around in the complex.

🏏While playing for the Central Coal Fields Limited in the Sheesh Mahal tournament, Dhoni used to get Rs 50 from his coach Deval Sahay for each six that he hit in the matches.

💇‍♂️Dhoni was a huge fan of John Abraham, copied and had long hair just like him. He even cut his hair short when the Bollywood actor did so.
[His hairstyle just didn't impress fans; former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf was also bowled over by Dhoni's long hair. After the third ODI of the series in Lahore, where Dhoni won Player of the Match award for his unbeaten 72 off 46, Musharraf advised him to not have a haircut.]

🏍Dhoni owns bikes such as the Yamaha RD350, Harley Davidson Fatboy, Ducati 1098, Kawasaki Ninja H2 and the super exclusive Confederate Hellcat X132. The former India captain is the only one to own this rare bike in South East Asia.

🚁🏏 He didn't let his ego stop him from learning from others. The 'Helicopter Shot', which later became the trademark shot of Captain Cool , was taught to him during a tennis-ball tournament in Ranchi by his friend Santosh Lal. He admits that the shot is not as easy to play as it looks like and if it is wrongly implemented the shot can result in a toe injury. 

✍🏻Dhoni used to finish his 3-hour-long examination in just 2 hours 30 minutes to go and practice with his club. He managed his studies and his passion together. Even after getting a full-time job, he never missed a practice session and that too after toiling hard at the railway station everyday. in the beginning things just did not work out for him. He was obviously disheartened but he didn't give up. He kept going until he finally made it to the playing eleven of the men in blue.

💞There was a time when Mahi was head over heels in love with a girl, Priyanka Jha in 2002. It was an intense, but short lived affair as she succumbed to injuries from a car accident the same year. Dhoni, who had been travelling with the India A team at that time, learned about the incident much later and was emotionally devastated. It took him almost a year to get back on track for his professional career.[After some deliberation, Dhoni agreed that this chapter of his life needs to be told to the world.]

💼Mahendra Singh Dhoni has continuously (from past few years) been the highest individual income taxpayer in Jharkhand state and one of the highest in India. 

🍹Dhoni, who could not reach Agartala on time to play in the first Duleep Trophy match for the East Zone in 2001, was selected as the 12th man for the second match in Pune. While he did not play in the game, he met his idol Sachin Tendulkar for the first time when the latter asked for water during the drinks break.

🎯Dhoni had a permanent government job. His family was happy and he could have lived a well-off life too. But, he took a giant leap instead as he didn't want to live the regular life. Just before an all important Pakistan series, Dhoni's late girlfriend asked, "Will you miss me?", he said, "No, that will distract me." It's tough but if you want to give your 100%, you have to have a clear head.

⚜ When it comes to simplicity, no one can match the level of MS Dhoni. Richest Cricketer in the world [In year 2012 Forbes magazine listed MS Dohni as the richest cricketer in the whole world ], but still cleans his bike by himself.
