‘There’s Too Much Negativity in India’ – MS Dhoni Reveals Why He Isn’t Active on Social Media

MS Dhoni, the enigmatic former Indian captain, has shed light on his limited social media presence. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Dhoni maintains a low profile online, particularly on Twitter.

In a recent podcast on the Dubai Eye 103.8 YouTube channel, Dhoni revealed his reasoning for avoiding Twitter.

“I prefer Instagram over Twitter,” he stated. “On Twitter, I felt there’s just too much negativity, especially in India. It seems like something always turns into a controversy.”
