Former India captain MS Dhoni's love for cricket is just one of his many, and it's no secret. He is a big fan of automobiles and animals. Dhoni has a huge collection of cars and bikes in his garage and at the same time he has many pets at his farmhouse. Recently, a video of the legendary cricketer playing with horses at the farm went viral on social media.

Dhoni, time and again, has been seen spending quality time with his family, friends and pets. In the viral 19-second video, the Chennai Super Kings (IPL) talisman - Dhoni's Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise - can be seen playing with his pet horse, Chetak, before he goes to feed a pony. A small group of people were also present at the spot, enjoying time with the cricketer and his cuties.

Dhoni keeps his promise to fans - set to play in IPL 2024
Rumours were rife during the IPL 2023 that Dhoni would not play in the next season. But after guiding CSK to a record fifth title, the man himself hinted that he will be back for the 17th edition for his adorable fans. As mentioned, Dhoni was among the players retained by the Chennai-based franchise for the 2024 season, and he will once again lead the side.
However, it remains to be seen if the 42-year-old can play the entire tournament. He struggled with his knee during the last season and had to undergo surgery earlier this year. Although he has been working tirelessly on his fitness, it is now uncertain how fit the wicketkeeper-batter is. Meanwhile, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan is confident of Dhoni featuring in the upcoming season.
"If our leader has given a word, he has never gone back. He already told what he was planning to do in that interview. I am sure that knowing MS, he will always do what he has committed to do. He is quite fit. Thalaivan is thalaivan (our leader is our leader)," Viswanathan said in a video shared by the franchise.
