Known for his calm demeanor and straightforward approach, Dhoni recently shared his views on the growing influence of social media and publicity in sports. Speaking at an event, Dhoni emphasized that for a cricketer, performance on the field speaks louder than any campaign or promotional strategy.</p><p>“If you play good cricket, you don’t need PR,” Dhoni remarked, echoing his long-held belief in letting actions speak for themselves. The legendary wicketkeeper-batsman, who led India to three ICC trophies, shared how staying focused on the game and delivering consistent performances has always been his priority.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">MS Dhoni on PR (Latest interview) : <br><br>If I play good cricket ,I don't need any PR 🔥😁<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MSDhoni?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MSDhoni</a> <a href="https://t.co/q1HaPygZfq">pic.twitter.com/q1HaPygZfq</a></p>— Chakri Dhoni (@ChakriDhonii) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChakriDhonii/status/1873987662304194803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 31, 2024</a></blockquote><h3>Staying Grounded Amidst Stardom</h3><p>Dhoni’s career, spanning nearly two decades, is a testament to his philosophy. Despite being one of the most celebrated cricketers globally, he has maintained a low profile off the field. While social media platforms have become a vital tool for athletes to connect with fans and build personal brands, Dhoni remains an exception. His rare posts and minimal digital presence reflect his commitment to privacy and staying grounded.</p><p>He added, “It’s not about being in the spotlight all the time. If you’re doing your job well and contributing to the team’s success, people will notice you. Fame and recognition will follow naturally.”</p><h3>A Message for Young Cricketers</h3><p>Addressing young and aspiring cricketers, Dhoni encouraged them to focus on honing their skills rather than seeking validation through likes and followers. “The game comes first. Social media can amplify your achievements, but it can’t replace the hard work and dedication required to succeed at the highest level,” he said.</p><p>He also cautioned against getting carried away by online fame, stressing the importance of balancing personal life and professional responsibilities. “You can’t let distractions affect your performance. At the end of the day, what matters is how you contribute to your team and the sport,” Dhoni explained.</p><h3>Legacy Beyond Cricket</h3><p>Even after retiring from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni remains a beloved figure in the cricketing world. His leadership, humility, and unwavering focus on the game have inspired countless players and fans. As captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Dhoni continues to lead by example, proving that success is built on discipline, hard work, and staying true to one’s values.</p><p> </p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded>
