Did you know former India cricket team skipper MS Dhoni has a YouTube channel? Well, a lot of fans didn’t know that ‘Captain Cool’ has been on YouTube even when there was no trend of owning a YouTube channel by celebrities in India.
MS Dhoni is hailed as one of the biggest cricketing personalities the world has ever seen. The man gave the Indian fans all that they had once asked for. He taught one and all the priceless lessons of leadership.
Under his captaincy, India won all the ICC trophies- something which no other captain in the world has been able to do. Under him as captain, India won the 2007 T20 World Cup and followed it with the elusive 2011 World Cup trophy.
The joy didn’t stop there as India then went on to win the 2013 Champions Trophy. MS Dhoni is one of those rare personalities who isn’t fond of social media.
He has often advised the youngsters to avoid social media and focus on their game. Despite not being active, he has millions of followers across social media platforms.
MS Dhoni YouTube channel
It isn’t a hidden fact that MS Dhoni isn’t too active on social media but do you know he has a YouTube channel, which he started way back in 2010? Today, a lot of cricketers have started their YouTube channel.
Most of them embark on their YouTube journey, once they retire from international cricket. Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the active players who also runs a YouTube channel.
But very few people know that MS Dhoni launched his YouTube channel way back in 2010. His first video was an apology to his fans for not conducting the live interaction session as planned.
MS Dhoni’s YouTube channel has 28.5k subscribers. He retired from international cricket on 15th August 2020. However, he has continued to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Of late, there have been a lot of talks happening around his availability in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League. As per reports, the franchise is likely to rope him in as an uncapped player ahead of the Mega-Auction.
Cristiano Ronaldo YouTube Channel
Recently, World football sensation, Cristiano Ronaldo began his YouTube channel. The fans didn’t take a lot of time to subscribe to his channel and soon, the Portugal star broke another record. In just two days after uploading his first video, Ronaldo reaches 30 million subscribers.
It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo has the most number of followers on Instagram, followed by Lionel Messi. It shouldn’t come as a surprise if he replicates a similar number on YouTube as well.
A lot of former popular cricketers, namely Aakash Chopra, Shoaib Akhtar, etc. also run their YouTube channels and have a good fan base. MS Dhoni’s YouTube channel has four videos and all of them date back to 2010 and 2011. It won’t be less than a dream for fans if MS Dhoni starts sharing videos on his YouTube channel. However, the chances of that happening are second to none.
