MS Dhoni delivers unrelenting 'nobody cares' about age remark ahead of IPL return

For MS Dhoni, age is just a number when it comes to his commitment to the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite stepping away from international cricket nearly six years ago, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) stalwart remains dedicated to maintaining his fitness for the high-intensity league, putting in months of rigorous preparation to ensure he is match-ready.

Speaking at Garuda Aerospace's 'Ascend' event during the launch of the Amaran Drone and Land Mine Detection Drone, Dhoni opened up about the challenges of staying fit for the tournament. "I only play a couple of months in a year, but I want to enjoy it the way I started playing, that's something that keeps me going," Dhoni said.

"But, of course, for that, I need to put in a lot of hard work for six to eight months because IPL is one of the toughest tournaments. Nobody really cares about how old you are. If you're playing at this level, the level needs to be the same."
