Meet MS Dhoni's elder brother, who was missing from CSK star's biopic; he works as..., net worth is..., his name is...
Dhoni's international career highlight was his three coveted ICC titles – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy – as captain along with other bilateral and continental achievements. Across formats, Dhoni accumulated 17,266 runs, effected 829 dismissals behind the stumps, and played 538 international matches — a testament to his consistency, fitness, and longevity, reported news agency IANS. Though Dhoni has retired from all forms of international cricket, but he is consistent with the IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, whom he led to five titles.
Even though MS Dhoni continues to be a huge personality in the media and real world, there are some important people in his life who have deliberately avoided the public eye. One such person is MS Dhoni's elder brother, Narendra Singh Dhoni, who is never seen with the CSK star, has a net worth of Rs…, he works as…
If media reports are to be believed, Narendra Dhoni, who is the older brother of former international cricketer MS Dhoni, is ten years older than the former Indian cricket team captain. He is active in the political field. Narendra joined the Samajwadi Party (SP) in 2013 and was previously a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Narendra, in an interview, noted that he has a very close relationship with his younger brother. Much like MS Dhoni, he too was passionate about sports in his school days and even competed at the national level.
While many fans know the life history of MS Dhoni, people may not be aware of Dhoni's elder brother, Narendra Singh Dhoni, was not portrayed in the cricketer's biographical film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016). Various media reports stated that the two brothers have not been in contact because of a long-standing dispute involving their family.
Narendra was married on November 21, 2007, and has a son and a daughter. He currently resides in Ranchi; however, he does travel to their family's ancestral village in Uttarakhand from time to time. He is known to live a very ordinary life, and his lifestyle is very private, so there isn't much publicly known about his professional life or net worth.
According to the media reports, Narendra Singh Dhoni once stated about his absence in the biopic,'I may be non-existent in the movie because I don't have many contributions in Mahi's life be it during his childhood, his struggle as a young man, or after he became MSD for the world. The film is about Mahi, not his family.'

Could Jitesh, Jurel's finishing finesse better India's T20 template?
Mumbai: For the longest time, India's wicket-keeper batter used to be the first name listed on the team sheet. He would know the pulse of the changing game, play with minds of the opposition, take his team home more often than not, execute razor-sharp stumpings and if all of this wasn't enough, captain the side to make himself undroppable. After MS Dhoni left, India has struggled for a wicket-keeper batter who can hold his own in the T20 format. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Jitesh Sharma. (AFP) In the past three T20 World Cups, formulaic picks have delivered sub-par returns. Rishabh Pant has been a constant, but is yet to ace the format. His great ability to second-guess the bowlers in the Test format seems to desert him in T20 cricket, where he is often chained by teams bowling to him on one side of the wicket. The temptation to give the free-spirited left-hander another chance to break free is always there in a big event. But it's been 76 T20Is now. In any case, he won't come into consideration for the Asia Cup, currently recovering from the foot injury from the England tour. The other team regular has been KL Rahul. Sometimes donning the gloves, or in the squad because he can also keep. Best suited to bat at the top of the order, Rahul was there in UAE 2021 and Australia 2022 but his batting tempo like the rest of India's campaign in those tournaments was outdated. In IPL, Rahul regularly delivers 500 plus runs in a season, a useful tick across the box in a long T20 competition. But taking time to get off the blocks and batting too long is a playing style India wanted to abandon which saw Rahul lose his place in the 2024 World Cup. Now, the top order is brimming with options. Among the contenders is Sanju Samson. Forced to stay on the bench throughout the last World Cup, the power packed batter has been in his elements after being shuffled up the order. 'You'll be removed from the team only after 21 ducks,' Gautam Gambhir told Samson when he took time to find his bearings. It's the kind of hyperbole the Indian head coach frequently uses. For Samson, who's waited forever to become an India regular, he needed just those words of reassurance. 522 of the right hander's 861 career runs have come as an opener and his Strike Rate has shot up to 178, while it was meandering in the 120s earlier. Samson is expected to keep his place in the Asia Cup squad despite recurring dismissals against the short ball in the previous England series. But the competition at the top will remain intense and the selectors would prefer to pick someone who can bat down the order as the other wicket-keeper. It's one area where resources are still scarce. Hardik Pandya is by far India's best finisher. But given his higher ceiling, they would want to utilize him at No.5 more frequently by identifying more finishers. Rinku Singh won't be dumped in a hurry, but he is not a finished article yet. The strongest contender from this year's IPL is Jitesh Sharma. The wicket-keeper batter from Vidarbha always possessed the power to clear the ropes. Playing the finishing role for RCB, Jitesh was able to show his impudence with ramps and scoops, a recent addition to his power hitting. His only serious competition for that slot comes from Dhruv Jurel. The Rajasthan Royals wicket-keeper batter first made a mark playing cameos down the order in the IPL. Subsequently, he was promoted by the franchise to No.5 this year - he had a mixed season - and in the limited opportunities he has got in the national set up, is known to have impressed Gambhir and the selectors. Having passed the eye test, Jurel will remain in contention even though he may be the understudy across formats for now. 'With someone like Dhruv, you have to be careful. We only look at Orange Cap and we say they are the ones who have performed. In every single match, Dhruv has come out in, he's been chasing 13-14 runs per over — that is not easy. The performance metrics for someone who is batting at No. 5 (and below) have to be very different,' RR head coach Rahul Dravid had recently come to Jurel's defence. When the selectors sit to pick a lower-order finisher who can keep wickets, they would have internalized Dravid's words of wisdom.

"Entire World Thought I Was Mad": IPL Team Owner Recalls Paying Rs 7090 Crore For This Side
The Indian Premier League extended the number of teams in the tournament from eight to ten ahead of the 2022 season. The bidding process for the two new teams took place in October 2021. CVC, a global private equity fund, bought one franchise for Rs 5625 crore, while the second one was bought was RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group for a mammoth sum of Rs 7090 crore at the bidding war. The massive amount paid by the RPSG Group to acquire a team stunned the cricket fraternity. Around four years after the buy, team's owner Sanjiv Goenka has opened up on the bold move. Notably, the RPSG Group also has its stake in The Hundred franchise Manchester Originals. Goenka's statement came when he informed that Manchester Originals will include the 'Super Giants' into their name for future seasons of the tournament. "When I invested 900m dollar to buy an IPL team, the entire world thought I was mad," Goenka told BBC Sport. "In the space of three and a half years, (it) is probably worth 1.5 billion dollar. The IPL is a league like no other but The only grow and we do believe that it will grow hugely. "It's about building an emotional connection with not only the sport, but the format and more importantly the team. It doesn't happen overnight. The IPL has taken 18 years to reach where it is." After buying the franchise for a whopping sum at the IPL auction, the RPSG Group later named the Lucknow franchise as Lucknow Super Giants. It turned out to be a superb first two seasons for LSG in IPL as the side made it to the playoffs on both the occasions. However, a dip in performance was observed in the next two seasons. LSG finished at the 7th spot in IPL 2024 and 2025, with their worst performance being this year as they ended up with 12 points, the lowest ever in their four-season old career.
