“Mere se na ho payega” – MS Dhoni reacts to running a YouTube channel
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni recently opened up about staying away from social media. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter is not active on social media and only uses the platform once in a while.
When questioned why he doesn’t own a YouTube channel, Dhoni said that he cannot run it because he rarely uses social media. In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday, the former India skipper said:
"Just now I was about talking about this, someone even asked me the same. Mere se na ho payega (I cannot do this) because it’s very tough. I am somebody, I won’t say camera conscious but I can’t just get it done. It doesn’t come naturally to me."
"I am happy with one-on-one conversation," he continued. "I am more of a in person kind of a man. So, I don’t think I’ll be able to run YouTube channel. Plus, I am a bit moody. I might post 2-3 videos and like my Instagram account disappear after one year."
Several former and current cricketers are successfully running their YouTube channels, including AB de Villiers, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
On the professional front, MS Dhoni has been retained as the Super Kings skipper for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
