Former Indian cricket team captain and Chennai Super Kings’ iconic leader, MS Dhoni, recently addressed one of the most bizarre and long-standing rumours surrounding his personal life — the claim that he drinks five litres of milk every day.
The revelation came during a light-hearted promotional event, where Dhoni was asked about the funniest or most ridiculous rumour he has ever heard about himself. With his trademark smile, Dhoni responded, “That I drink five litres of milk daily.”
Dhoni Clarifies the MythLaughing off the widely circulated claim, Dhoni clarified, “There was a time I used to drink about one litre a day, but five litres? That’s impossible for a normal human being.” His calm yet humorous dismissal of the rumour won hearts online, reaffirming why fans continue to call him ‘Captain Cool.’
This peculiar milk story dates back to the early 2000s, around the time Dhoni made his explosive entry into international cricket. Many speculated that his power-hitting skills were somehow linked to an unusually high milk intake — a theory that has now officially been debunked by Dhoni himself.

But the milk myth wasn’t the only strange story doing the rounds. Dhoni also chuckled at another wild rumour — that he once made lassi (a traditional Indian yogurt drink) in a washing machine. While the source of this claim remains unclear, Dhoni’s reaction suggests even he finds these tales more amusing than annoying.
Why Do These Rumours Stick?From drinking buckets of milk to washing machine beverages, the world of sports is no stranger to fan-driven folklore. In Dhoni’s case, his near-mythical status in Indian cricket has spawned countless exaggerated stories. Whether it’s his calm demeanor under pressure, or his fitness at the age of 43, fans love to speculate about the secret behind Dhoni’s longevity and strength.
However, as Dhoni reminded everyone with a smile, success has no magic formula — just discipline, training, and a healthy lifestyle.
Fans React With Laughter and LoveThe video of Dhoni addressing the rumour has gone viral, sparking a wave of memes, funny reels, and nostalgic posts across Twitter and Instagram. Most fans appreciated Dhoni's candid nature and his ability to laugh at himself, calling it yet another reason to admire the cricketing legend.
As the 2025 IPL season continues, Dhoni remains as popular and relevant as ever — not just for his skills, but for his simplicity and grounded personality.
