MS Dhoni's love for football is well documented and he can usually be seen playing the game during Team India training.

The CSK skipper supports Premier League giants Manchester United and it is rumoured that he wears the No. 7 as a tribute to the Red Devils. The No. 7 is the most iconic and revered shirt number at Old Trafford and is also MS Dhoni's birth date. The former Indian captain, who endorsed Gulf Oil, had congratulated them for their association with Manchester United and even chanted Glory Glory Man United, the club's famous chant in one of their videos. Manchester United, in return, wished MS Dhoni well after he stepped down from captaincy in 2017.
