MS Dhoni’s Social Media Presence: A Blend of Selectivity and Viral Charm
Mumbai: Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, affectionately known as Thala, continues to captivate not only on the cricket field but also in the digital realm. With an impressive following of 49.3 million on Instagram, 8.6 million on X (formerly Twitter), and 27 million on Facebook, he ranks among India’s most influential celebrities online.
Despite his vast following, MS Dhoni maintains a surprisingly selective approach to social media engagement. On Instagram, he follows only four accounts, comprising his family members including wife Sakshi Singh and daughter Ziva Singh Dhoni, along with an agriculture farm account named Eejafarms, and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan. Notably, he excludes close friends and fellow cricket players from his feed.
A recent viral image showcasing MS Dhoni with these four Instagram connections highlighted the special bond he cherishes with his family and close associates, resonating widely across social media platforms.
Dhoni’s recent appearances at prestigious events like the Ambani pre-wedding festivities and Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s wedding have further bolstered his online presence. His new look and cheerful demeanor captured during these events quickly became viral sensations, underscoring his enduring popularity and relevance.
This selective yet impactful presence underscores Dhoni’s prioritization of family bonds alongside his continued stature as a beloved figure in Indian sports and entertainment, both offline and online.
