In what seems like a legendary cricketer giving up his worldly possessions, including his ultra-rare Rs 47-lakh Confederate Hellcat motorcycle, M S Dhoni has donned the avatar of a monk in a photo posted by Star Sports India on Twitter.
Amid intense anticipation of IPL 2021, has Dhoni decided to shed all fear and live in the quiet?
The image shared by the official broadcaster of the upcoming IPL season was captioned, "Our faces since we saw #MSDhoni's new avatar that could just break the Internet! What do you think is it about?"
They later tweeted, "Give us your best guess as to what this mantra is that he's talking about and keep watching this space for the reveal."
