MS Dhoni is passionate about cars and bikes, which is why he has a huge garage at his home in Ranchi. The multi-level facility reportedly houses 50 vintage cars and bikes.
The much anticipated World Cup match between India and Pakistan had been scheduled for October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. But now it seems that it might get rescheduled.
Former Indian cricketers Venkatesh Prasad and his teammate Sunil Joshi had visited Dhoni’s house recently. Prasad even posted a video of the World Cup winning captain’s garage filled with vintage cars and bikes.

The video shared by Venkatesh Prasad was being shot by Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni and she jokingly asked her husband about his massive collection, “Mahi, why?” to which Captain Cool replied, “Because you took everything, so I needed to have something of my own. So this is the only thing allowed.”
Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad said in the video, “Someone needs to have hell of a lot of passion to do something like this or someone has to be mad,” to which Sakshi replied while laughing, “Mad, I would say.”
This version of the Rolls Royce Wraith was produced for just four years (1976-1980). The 5.37 metre-long sedan has a 6.8-litre V8 engine producing 220 bhp.
Apart from the Rolls Royce, Dhoni also won an auction for 1971 Land Rover Series 3 Station Wagon last year. The auction was held by Big Boy Toyz.
Another majestic car in Dhoni’s collection is the red coloured Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am, reportedly 40 years old. The car has a 455 big-block V8 engine producing 325 bhp.
The co-owner of Chennaiyin FC also owns a 1969 Ford Mustang, which he bought in 2021. It comes with a 5.0-litre V8 engine producing 221 bhp and 406 Nm of torque.
This special edition of Ferrari 599 GTO was gifted to MS Dhoni after India won the ICC World Cup 2011. The car is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine producing 661 bhp. It can go from 0-100 kmph in 3.5 seconds.
