He recently underwent a knee surgery and has been recovering from it, while getting in shape for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL). His unconditional love for bikes and cars is known to the fans, as he is quite often caught riding and driving them.

Recently, he has been spotted driving a luxurious car. Dhoni's 'tennis partner' Sumeet Kumar Bajaj posted a video on social media in which the cricketing great was seen driving a Mercedes G class sedan car. The video, which shows Dhoni sitting inside a black Mercedes, has come from Ranchi, as per sources. The number plate is 0007. The number '007' is often linked with the legendary Hollywood character James Bond. His iconic jersey number is '7' as well. The worth of the car is around Rs 3.3 crore. 

He has a huge garage in his farmhouse at Ranchi, which has several vintage bikes or swanky cars. He has been seen giving rides to a young cricketer while returning from practice.

MS Dhoni, a global icon

Previously the former skipper met the CEO of Legends League Cricket (LLC) Raman Raheja who sparked the rumours that the player might be joining the league. The CEO wants to see Dhoni playing for CSK till the age of 50. Raheja said after meeting Dhoni, "We have more than 100 crore cricket fans in our country and at least half of that outside of India as well. So, when you have such a large population, and we grew up looking at our heroes, we never want them to retire. We say Dhoni should continue to play till he’s 50+ or maybe more than that."

"So it’s always hard when somebody like that retires, fans feel bad. So the idea was that they could extend their playing career and given that today’s cricket has become very competitive with youngsters and physical fitness coming up, the average age of a cricketer is actually coming down."
