India cricketer MS Dhoni has an interest in other sports apart from cricket and he possesses good skills in some of them. We know he started as a football goalkeeper, plays Badminton, and has a passion for racing as well.

The former India captain also loves shooting and has often tried his hands on it. He once impressed Manavaditya Singh Rathore, the three-time gold medal winner at 63rd National Shotgun Shooting Championship.

Manavaditya, son of Olympic medalist and ex-sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, has a lot of respect for the India cricketer. He loved his shooting skills when Dhoni had once visited their house.

"I have a lot of respect for him. He has a lot of interest in the shooting also. He came home once. I think he hit the target all the time, bull's eye. His personality is quite strong and unique," Manavaditya Singh Rathore said during his Instagram chat with Suresh Raina on Wednesday.

Dhoni has always been open about his interest in shooting and he had posted a video on Twitter once. "Shooting gun is much more fun than shooting ads," he said.

Raina talked about why Dhoni is a successful captain, and he pointed out that being clear with the thoughts increases the Chennai Super Kings captain's self-belief. "He believes himself so much. He is being very, very honest when it comes to his process. When he feels something is honest, he thinks it will definitely be right. There are two things, you tend to believe in something when you're confused. On the other hand, when you strongly believe in something, you believe it's the truth.

'He has a lot of clarity. He knows how to succeed in life in a humble way," Raina said.
