MS Dhoni is one of the fittest players in the world, even at the age of 39. The CSK skipper still looks in great shape despite leaving international cricket and only playing competitive matches for 2 months in a year.
Dhoni said, “When you are playing, you don’t really want anyone to say he’s unfit. Performances are something that’s not guaranteed.
