Industrialist Anand Mahindra has said that 5-time IPL winning captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), MS Dhoni should consider entering politics as he is a born leader. Dhoni recently led the CSK team to their fifth IPL title, by defeating Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Monday.
While praising Dhoni’s leadership, Mahindra said he does not assume MSD would stretch his cricketing career for long as he feels Dhoni needs to consider an inning in the political arena.
Anand Mahindra on Tuesday took to Twitter to say that Mahendra Singh Dhoni should think of considering politics as his next gig because he is an “obvious future leader.”
"Like most people, I was pleased to hear that #MSDhoni might stay on for another year in the IPL. But I would not hope for longer, since I believe he needs to consider The political arena," Mahindra said on Twitter.
Anand Mahindra, who previously collaborated with MS Dhoni on a panel for the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in 2021, is aware that the CSK captain's athletic and cerebral agility go hand in hand.
"He was collaborative, humble, and yet assertive in making innovative inputs. He is an obvious future leader," Mahindra said.
