Legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni's love for motorbikes and cars is no secret. The former India captain's farmhouse in Ranchi has an extravagant collection of high-end automobiles. The 42-year-old had countless successes as a captain and player during his illustrious international career, and he is continuing to do so in the Indian Premier League.
These on-field successes made him not only one of the most prominent cricketers in the world but also one of the richest cricketers. According to a recent report from Stock Gro, Dhoni has a net worth of 1040 crores INR. While cricket, brand endorsements and investments in various business sectors are the primary contributors to this staggering amount, his huge collection of expensive vehicles also adds to it.
Former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad got a chance to visit Dhoni's automobile collection and decided to surprise his fans by sharing a glimpse of it on social media. The video suggests that the Chennai Super Kings skipper has over 100 cars and bikes in his garage.
"One of the craziest passions I have seen in a person. What a collection and what a man MSD is. A great achiever and an even more incredible person. This is a glimpse of his collection of bikes and cars in his Ranchi house. Just blown away by the man and his passion," Prasad wrote on Twitter as he shared the video.

Bike showroom ho sakta hay yeh: Venkatesh Prasad
Prasad was accompanied by another former India cricketer Sunil Joshi. At the start of the video, Dhoni's wife Sakshi asks the two how it feels to be in Ranchi for the first time. "Amazing! No, not all (not my first time in Ranchi). It's my fourth time, but this place (MS Dhoni's bike collection) is crazy," Prasad replied.
Joshi, who was also stunned by seeing Dhoni's collection, said: "Not the first time in Ranchi but first time with the legend. You can't explain about this whole setup."
"Bike showroom ho sakta hay yeh (This can be a bike showroom). Someone needs to have a hell of a lot of passion to have something else, I'm telling you. Unless and until someone is mad about this, you can't (have these many bikes)," Prasad continued.
Then Sakshi asked Dhoni, " Why Mahi why? What was the need of this?". The wicket-keeper batter then gave an amusing reply: "Because you took everything and I needed to have something of my own. This is the only thing you allowed."
