Raj Shamani Shares an Emotional Post After Interviewing MS Dhoni
Entrepreneur Raj Shamani hosts his childhood hero, MS Dhoni. They discuss retirement rumours and spirit of winning and believing in yourself.

It wasn’t just another episode of a podcast or just about a celebrity interview. It was a childhood dream coming alive. Raj Shamani -creator, entrepreneur and speaker who grew up watching cricket like millions of Indians, couldn’t hold back his emotions as he shared a deeply personal post online. This podcast is about a small-town boy who once celebrated India’s win on the streets, now sitting across from the very man who made it possible, cricket legend MS Dhoni.
More Than Just a Podcast – A Moment of Pure Emotion
Raj didn’t just host Dhoni. He sat beside the man who gave kids like him hope.

“This is not a podcast with one of the greatest captains of all time but with a man who gave millions of kids like me who come from small towns a belief that even if you don’t follow the rules you can win.”
That’s Dhoni for you. He wasn’t textbook perfect. He had his own way, his helicopter shots, calm under pressure, and belief in backing talent over technique made him a hero for every kid who felt like they didn’t fit into the system.
The Big Question Raj Asked: Is This Dhoni’s Last IPL?
Since MS Dhoni’s parents were spotted at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 5, and a short clip of his wife, Sakshi, telling daughter Ziva, “last match,” fans started fearing the worst. Is this the end of an era?
But MS Dhoni cleared the air on Raj’s podcast.
“No, not right now. I am still playing the IPL. I have kept it very simple, I take it one year at a time. I am 43, and by the time IPL 2025 finishes, I will be 44. I have 10 months to decide if I will play or not. But it is not me deciding, it is my body that decides. So, one year at a time, we will see after that.” So, fans can relax for now.
