In the same event, he also spoke on the value of becoming a good human being. Dhoni said that he wants people to remember him as a good human being and not a good cricketer. “I have always said that people should remember be as a good human being. If you want to be a good human being, its a process till you die,” he said.
Earlier, after IPL 2023, Dhoni was asked whether fans would see him in IPL 2024 or not. To which Dhoni replied, “The easy thing would be for me to say ‘Thank you very much’, but the tough thing for me is to work hard for another nine months and come back and play at least one more season of IPL.
“A lot depends on the body, I have 6-7 months to decide. It will be more like a gift from my side, it’s not easy for me but that’s a gift. The way they’ve shown their love and affection, I think that’s something I need to do for them,” he had said.
