MS Dhoni is known to keep a low profile off the cricket field. Rarely making public appearances apart from fulfilling sponsorship deals, he tends to avoid catching the eye. This is a phenomenon seen more and more since his retirement from international cricket in 2020.

Bet here on ongoing Asia Cup and other cricket matches!

Despite all this, his star power is such that whenever he does make an appearance, Dhoni is almost always spotted. On Friday morning, video clips and pictures were doing the rounds of the former Indian captain golfing with ex-US president Donald Trump.

In an Instagram video, Dhoni can be seen putting on the golf course as Trump watches on, with both of their official accounts tagged in the video.

 

A picture of the two along with other acquaintances has also emerged, in which Trump proudly sports a MAGA (Make America Great Again) cap.

 

Dhoni was also spotted attending a US Open tennis match yesterday, watching Carlos Alcaraz take on Alexander Zverev in the men's singles quarterfinal.

Trump was voted out of office as US President in 2020, but not before claiming electoral fraud and allegedly attempting to overturn the results. He is currently awaiting trial for conspiracy in this matter, which prosecutors say could take upto four months and involve over 150 witnesses.

It remains to be seen what kind of reaction Dhoni's fans will have to the former Indian skipper posing with such a controversial figure.
