MS Dhoni, the iconic former Indian cricket captain and current Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star, recently addressed a long-standing and rather amusing rumor about his daily milk consumption. In a light-hearted moment during a promotional event, Dhoni was asked about the most ridiculous rumor he has heard about himself and his answer had the audience in splits. Smiling, Dhoni said, “I drink five litres of milk a day,” referring to the popular myth that has followed him for years. While the rumor has often been quoted in fan circles and media snippets, Dhoni was quick to clarify the truth. “Maybe I used to drink a litre of milk in a day, spread throughout. But five litres is just too much,” he said, laughing.

The clarification comes as fans have often wondered whether the milk tale was just an exaggeration tied to Dhoni’s strong build and athleticism. In the age of viral stories, even the most unbelievable claims can catch fire—and this one certainly did. Adding to the fun, Dhoni also addressed another bizarre claim that went viral a few years ago: that he once made lassi using a washing machine. “I don’t even drink lassi” he said with a chuckle, clearly amused by the creativity of the rumor mill.

Omg, my whole childhood was a lie: Fans react to Dhoni revealing truth about his milk rumour!

While MSD addressed that these rumours about milk related to him were untrue, fans produced mixed reactions on hearing this revelation, with some fans dumbstruck about the truth. Here’s a look at some of the fan reactions.
