"That Is What I Like About Him…" – Wasim Jaffer Shares an Interesting Story about MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni, who celebrated his 42nd birthday on Friday, July 7, is one of the biggest stars in Indian cricket. Having made his debut in 2004, the right-handed batsman holds the record for being the only captain to win all three white-ball ICC trophies.

In an interview Wasim Jaffer mentioned that MS Dhoni had no reservations about drinking Pepsi because he was accustomed to it.

“MS Dhoni used to drink Pepsi during the drinks break. It’s not allowed. Fitness-wise, it has a lot of sugar, and sportspeople are advised to stay away from it,” Wasim Jaffer told Sportskeeda.

“But he used to regularly drink Pepsi or Coke. That’s the kind of person he was. Just because you are playing at the international level, where there is a lot of pressure, it doesn’t mean you change your routine. That’s what I like about him,” he added.

Dhoni kick-started his captaincy career by winning the 2007 T20 World Cup. He went on to guide the team to victory in the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy.

The former Indian opener mentioned that Dhoni believed in continuing the practices that had brought him success.

“He always used to say, the things that have brought you success, don’t abruptly abandon them just because you are playing at a different level of cricket. That’s something I feel has worked for him,” Jaffer continued.

“He has evolved over time, but I don’t think he has changed. That’s a remarkable quality he has maintained from the start of his career until now,” he concluded.

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni had an extraordinary career, representing India in 90 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 98 T20Is. He retired from international cricket in 2020 but continued to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to their fifth title in the IPL 2023.
