Delhi: BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has expressed his opinion on the possibilities of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni entering politics. Dhoni, who has retired from international cricket in 2019, still plays in the IPL. Recently, in a podcast, Shukla said that Dhoni can become a good politician, but this decision should be completely left on him.
‘Are Dhoni going to contest Lok Sabha elections’
Shukla also revealed that when Dhoni had raised rumors of contesting Lok Sabha elections, he himself talked to Dhoni about this.
The BCCI vice -president said in a conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, “I think Dhoni can enter politics. It is completely dependent on them whether they will come in it or not. I always felt about Sourav Ganguly that he would go into Bengal politics. Dhoni can also succeed in politics because his popularity is very high. But, I do not know whether he will do it or not. I once asked him if he was going to contest the Lok Sabha elections, he flatly refused and said ‘No, no, no’. “
Do not keep mobile phones
Shukla also told that Dhoni does not keep a mobile phone and always likes to stay away from the limelight. He said, “His nature is such that he does not appear much. He does not even keep a mobile phone. It was even difficult for BCCI selectors to contact them. He is not a sage-monk, but whatever he does, there is complete seriousness in it. “
