Mahendra Singh Dhoni to join politics? Anand Mahindra’s ‘future leader’ remarks spark debate

Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The name is enough whenever we talk about a champion in the true sense after he led the Chennai Super Kings to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy after defeating Gujarat Titans in a high-voltage match on Monday.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni no doubt is a popular cricketer who lives in the hearts of millions of fans across the world for his simplicity and his captaincy skills. Often regarded as ‘captain cool’, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won praise from different quarters after his Chennai Super Kings lifted the IPL 2023 trophy.

Industrialist and chairman of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra’s tweet about Mahendra Singh Dhoni has sparked speculations about whether the captain cool will join the politics or not.

In a tweet, Mahindra called Dhoni ‘an obvious future leader.’ This has sparked a debate about whether Dhoni will be seen in the political arena during the crucial 2024 elections.

“Like most people, I was pleased to hear that #MSDhoni might stay on for another year in the #IPL. But I would not hope for longer, since I believe he needs to consider rhe political arena. I worked with him on the NCC review panel chaired by @PandaJay & saw that his intellectual agility matches his agility on the sportsfield. He was collaborative, humble & yet assertive in making innovative inputs. He is an obvious future leader…,” tweeted Anand Mahindra. (sic)
