‘Captain Cool’ M S Dhoni reveals his biggest fear: ‘I can fight the whole world but…’

The ‘Captain Cool’ of Indian cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who led India to every major ICC title during his captaincy, won the Indian Premier League five times, and scored 17,266 international runs across formats, has revealed what he is actually scared of.

During an interview with Kamiya Jani for Curly Tales , Dhoni spoke candidly about his biggest fear — needles.

“I am scared of needles.

Anything to do with needles, I am off,” Dhoni said.

To this, Dhoni said he agreed initially: “ Kar lo, hospital toh aaye hain (Go ahead, we are already at the hospital).” However, when the physio explained that the test would require an injection — “ Iss mei na injection dena padta hai (This involves giving an injection)” — Dhoni immediately changed his mind.

“I said, ‘ Chalo wapas jaayenge ’ (Let’s go back),” he added with a laugh.

Despite his fear of injections, Dhoni stressed the importance of proper medical treatment.

“Treatment is very important.

I am always in favour of going to a doctor and getting your problems checked,” he emphasised.

Responding with a smile, Dhoni said, “There are some universal truths.”
