The legendary Indian cricketer and former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni after over two years shared a new post in his social media which left the internet buzzing. On Wednesday (February 8), India's World Cup winning captain Dhoni, who usually avoids posting stuffs on social media, posted a video on Instagram where he can be seen driving tractor and ploughing the field in his farmhouse.
Everyone knows Dhoni’s love for driving, be it bikes or cars, but this time he chose a tractor. Sharing the video, the cricketer wrote that it was ‘nice’ learning something new, but he took a long time to finish the work. He captioned the video as, “Nice to learn something new but took way too long to finish the work.”
Moments after the post took the social media by storm and went viral which has garnered millions of views and over 1.5 million likes, as well as 41,000 comments and hundreds of shares and still counting.
Here's the video…
The 41-year-old has been spending quality time with his family at his farmhouse in Ranchi since his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020. He gets himself busy with advertisements and producing films when he is off the field, and also manages to take out time for some exciting activities.
