The viral video captured Dhoni stepping out from his Simliya farmhouse residence, dressed in a relaxed blue vest, before taking his stunning vintage Rolls-Royce for a leisurely drive through Ranchi’s streets. As soon as the iconic vehicle emerged from his property, excited fans rushed forward to capture the moment on their mobile phones, with some even running behind the luxury car to get a better view of their cricket hero.
However, fact-checking reveals that this particular video isn’t recent but dates back to July 2023, when it first gained attention after being circulated by various media outlets. Despite being two years old, the footage has resurfaced and continues to fascinate fans who remain captivated by Dhoni’s automotive choices and his humble interactions with supporters.
The former Chennai Super Kings captain’s garage is a testament to his deep-rooted passion for automobiles, housing an impressive collection that would make any automotive enthusiast envious. According to multiple reports, Dhoni’s collection comprises more than 70 motorcycles and at least 15 luxury and vintage cars. His automotive treasure trove includes everything from high-performance superbikes like the Kawasaki Ninja H2 and the ultra-exclusive Confederate X132 Hellcat to classic vehicles such as his vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and a 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
Former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad once toured Dhoni’s garage and couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer scale of the collection. “It’s one of the craziest passions I’ve seen in anyone,” Prasad commented, applauding Dhoni’s dedication both on and off the field. Indeed, Dhoni’s love for engines and chrome offers a glimpse of the man beyond cricket—the adventurer, the collector, the enthusiast.
