MS Dhoni’s passion for motorcycles is well-known among cricket fans. The former Indian captain from Ranchi keeps a vast collection of bikes in his garage at home in Ranchi. He has been pictured riding superbikes several times since becoming a celebrity. MS Dhoni’s bike collection is second to none in the country.
Dhoni purchased his first bike long before he became popular, and he still keeps it in his garage, even though its features and horsepower pale in comparison to some of MS Dhoni’s other bikes.
Dhoni not only collects bikes but also takes good care of them. He has been spotted showering those beasts while at home or the farmhouse. His wife, Sakshi Dhoni, had posted this a while ago:
