Former India captain MS Dhoni finally reacted to one of the most talked-about myths about him during a Chennai Super Kings (CSK) event in Chennai. When asked about the most ridiculous rumour he had heard, Dhoni responded, “That I drink five litres of milk every day.”
He added, “I used to drink, maybe, a litre of milk spread throughout the day. But five litres? That’s a bit too much for anyone,” Dhoni said with a laugh, putting an end to the long-standing rumour.

‘Washing machine lassi’ rumour also shut down

During the event, Dhoni also addressed another strange rumour—that he uses a washing machine to make lassi. He denied it outright, saying, “First of all, I don’t drink lassi,” amusing fans with his signature humour.
