'I drink 5 litres of …': MS Dhoni finally breaks silence on viral rumour

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni has revealed the "most ridiculous" rumour he had heard about himself.
When MS Dhoni exploded onto the cricketing scene in the early 2000s, his incredible power-hitting and remarkable fitness fueled widespread speculation about his diet.

Rumours circulated that his daily intake included a staggering five litres of milk, and this was believed to be the reason behind him hitting those massive sixes.

At a promotional event in Chennai, he was asked about this year-old rumour. The former India captain replied with a smile: "I drink five litres of milk a day."

"I used to drink maybe a litre of milk, you know, spread throughout the day. But four litres, you know, it's a bit too much for anyone," he added.
The former India captain also laughed at the rumour about him making lassi in a washing machine.
He said: "First of all, I don't drink lassi."
Who's that IPL player?
The 43-year-old is currently leading CSK in the absence of regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been ruled out due to an elbow injury.
Having already lost six out of eight games, the bottom-placed CSK will find it extremely difficult to win all their remaining six games to make it to the last four stage, which looks like a long shot at the moment.

Dhoni rarely gives his opinion on any issue, but he didn't mince words in dissecting his team's poor batting. CSK have consistently failed to either chase or put up big scores.
"I think we were quite below par, because we all knew that dew would come in the second half, and we were in a position to exploit the middle overs," Dhoni said, speaking about the lack of cricketing sense among the batters.
