"Just Forgive And Move On": MS Dhoni Becomes Cryptic Ahead Of IPL 2025

"Even if it's tough to do...just forgive and move on." Mahendra Singh Dhoni became a life coach for once to share his secrets for a stress-free existence, describing himself as a careless person who would not give up on a good night's sleep by paying attention to what others think of him. The 43-year-old former India wicketkeeper-batter, considered one of the game's greatest for captaining India to two World Cup titles in a storied international career, set a high benchmark for a leader with his calm and focused approach on the field.

He is now gearing up for what most believe is his final IPL season as a player with Chennai Super Kings and at an event in Mumbai, he turned philosophical when asked to give advice to fans and followers.

"I think, keep life simple. Be honest to yourself, have gratitude towards people for whatever they have been doing for you. Don't always think, 'this is my birthright' and ask for more," the enigmatic big-hitter said here on Wednesday evening during the launch of his app 'DHONI' powered by Single.id where injured India keeper-batter Sanju Samson was also present.

"I know the whole app (DHONI) says 'thoda aur' (a little more), but the whole thing is to have that gratitude, to say thank you, to respect the elders (and) to give love to the younger ones," he added.

He then went on to stress on the need to have a forgiving attitude, which he feels is in short-supply right now.

"I always felt having a smile on your face solves half the problem. Even if you're not in a comfortable position, even if it's tough to do, have the power to forgive. That is one thing that not many of us have," said the cricketer who has never responded to the personal attacks on him by anyone, including former teammates
