Former India captain MS Dhoni loves to mess around with his teammates. Although he appears to be very serious on the field, as revealed by his mates, Dhoni is a fun character and also a prankster.

Talking to Deep Dasgupta in a chat show Cricket Baazi for ESPNCricinfo, India pacer Ishant Sharma spoke about Dhoni's sense of humor. 

Ishant said Dhoni calls him an 'oldie' in jest, even though he is just 32 years old and has a lot of cricket left in him. "Actually, mentally main 32 se zyada ka ho chuka hun. Meri biwi mujhe buddha bolti hai. Mahi bhai ka bhi mujhe message aata hain aur woh bhi mujhe bolte hain 'aur buddhe, kya kar raha hai?'.", said Ishant.

He added, "Main unko bolta hun 'Mahi bhai, main 32 saal ka hun', toh woh kehte hain 'teri age 32 hai, lekin tera sharir 52 ka hai beta' (Mentally, I am over 32 now. My wife already refers to me as an 'old man'. Even MS Dhoni messages me and says, 'what's up, old man?'. To this, I tell him, 'Dhoni bhai, I am only 32.' He replies, 'Your age is 32 but your body is around 52, son')."

Dhoni is one of the fittest Indian cricketers even at the age of 39. He has always given his body priority and had rarely missed out on a game for India because of injury.
