The 43-year-old MS Dhoni has debunked a long-lasting rumour that he drinks five litres of milk during a humorous interaction at a promotional event.
While asked about the weirdest rumour he had heard, the former Indian skipper did open up on the infamous milk story.
“I drink five litres of milk a day,” said MS Dhoni with a smile on his face. “I used to drink, maybe, a litre of milk spread throughout the day. But four litres – it’s a bit too much for anyone,” he added.
The anchor was suprised to learn that it was a rumour, before MS Dhoni clarified that it’s not possible for an average person to consume five litres of milk daily.
“I used to drink, maybe, a litre of milk spread throughout the day. But four litres – it’s a bit too much for anyone,” he added.
The wk-batter also laughed off another rumour, that the CSK star used to make lassi in a washing machine. Notable, MS Dhoni had addresssed the milk rumour as early as 2005 in an interview.

MS Dhoni’s secret on power hitting and fitness has been speculated widely when he burst onto the scene in the early 2000s was his diet, which he featured five litres of milk per day.
MS Dhoni has made it essentital for future generations to offer more than just wicketkeeping skills. Despite being retired from international cricket in 2020, he maintains his fitness for playing in the IPL.
Dhoni’s effortless boundaries and sixes made him one of the most feared in the world Cricket.
MS Dhoni has managed his knee issues better than in recent seasons. CSK have struggled for consistency in IPL, losing six out of eight matches in the IPL 2025 season.
After suffering a 9 wicket defeat against Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni dropped a big hint over the team’s next year plans.
“Those are the question marks we have got, few catches and that will help. Other than that we are just trying to plug in the holes, with all the games that are in front of us that we are supposed to win, we just take it one game at a time and if we lose a few, what will be important for us is to get the right combination for next year.”
“You don’t want too many players getting changed, what will be important is to try and qualify, but if not get a secured 11 for next year and come back strong,” Dhoni had said during the post-match presentation.
CSK will play their next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.
