MS Dhoni, the two-time World Cup-winning captain of the Indian cricket team, is known for his simplicity both on and off the field. Dhoni showed another example of minimalism in a viral video where he shared his perspective on social media and public relations. One of the most celebrated personalities in the world, Dhoni, candidly shared that while his managers often urge him to promote himself on social media avenues, he believes that if his performance on the field is strong, he doesn't need public relations.

MS Dhoni, appearing on Eurogrip Tred Talks, shared that he has never been a fan of social media. Despite managers urging him to build a PR presence since his cricketing debut in 2004, Dhoni maintained that good cricket performance eliminates the need for PR.
“I have never been a big fan of social media. Throughout, I have had so many managers and all of them keep pushing. I started playing in 2004; Twitter got popular later on, after which Instagram came in. All the managers told me, ‘you should do some PR, build this and build that’. I had the same answer that if you play good cricket, you don’t need PR,” Dhoni said.
