A video has recently gone viral on the social media, where former Indian captain MS Dhoni can be seen taking his Hummer out for a drive on the roads of his hometown Ranchi, Jharkhand. Netizens were amazed how Dhoni’s Hummer had been modified with the theme of the Indian Army showcasing the love and respect the actor has for the country’s armed forces.
In the video, one can see MS Dhoni driving the vehicle alone with several of his fans following him on their bikes. The vehicle had striking features with artwork depicting fighter jets, tanks, aircraft, and Indian soldiers in action, paying homage to the Indian Army. Throughout his career, Dhoni has had several incidents where he has adorned army-themed gear like the wicket-keeping gloves he had or the phone cover he used that went viral/
According to the reports, the customisation and modification on Dhoni’s Hummer was carried out back in 2024 by a car detailing studio based in Ranchi. The founder of the studio Achyut Kishore revealed that the former Indian skipper had personally requested an army-themed design for his vehicle. The price of Dhoni’s Hummer is expected to be somewhere around Rs 75 lakh and with the modification the cost must have increased by at least Rs 5 lakh.
Although he retired from International cricket almost 6 years ago, Dhoni is still one of the most popular cricketers in the country. He still appears in the Indian Premier League (IPL), playing for the Chennai Super Kings. In 2025, the Dhoni-led CSk had a forgettable outing in the 2025 edition as they won only four matches and finished at the bottom of the points table.
However, there is good news for all the fans of the cricketer as in a recent interview Dhoni hinted that there is a chance he might return for one more season in the IPL. In an interview, at an event, he said, “I don’t know whether I’ll play or not. I have time to decide. I have some time until December, so I’ll take another couple of months, and then finally, I can make my decision.”
