It is no secret that Mahendra Singh Dhoni possesses many exceptional qualities as a cricketer and as a human. One of the amazing aspects of his personality is the fact that no one can predict the cricket legend’s next move.

MSD always surprises fans and experts with his choices. Everyone felt he would retire from international cricket immediately after the 2019 ODI World Cup, but the former captain chose a quiet exit, a year after he last played for India. He also caught fans by surprise by quitting as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain ahead of IPL 2024, with not many having an inkling of what was going on in his mind.

And Dhoni is out to surprise everyone again with his latest move. In a post shared on his Facebook page, he announced that he would be starting his own team. The 42-year-old’s post on social media read:

“Time to take the leap. It’s time to do what matters. I’m starting my own team!.”

The cricket legend’s post went viral on social media in no time. Fans went berserk over Dhoni’s post, wondering what starting his own team could mean.

"MS Dhoni starting a new team jahan sirf 7 players hi khelenge...batting bhi wahi karenge, bowling bhi wahi karenege! Thala for a reason!" - See the Good Shri

While some users said that it’s the start of another something grand associated with MSD, a few were confused as to what the keeper-batter was referring to.

"What kind of new team is Ms. Dhoni starting? Will we see Thala XI play against CSK?" - Vipin Tiwari

he general sentiment on social media, however, was of excitement and thrill over the cricket great’s next move.
