Is World Cup Dhoni's Most Priceless Gift? Old Interview Resurfaces After His Viral Instagram Post

MS Dhoni, who led India to victory in the 2007 Men’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, congratulated Rohit Sharma and his team for winning the title at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Dhoni also thanked them for an unforgettable birthday gift, as he is set to celebrate his birthday on July 7.

Known for captaining India to the 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy, Dhoni usually stays off social media. However, after the 2024 win, he took to Instagram and wrote:

“WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS 2024.My heart rate was up,well done on being calm, having the self belief and doing what u guys did. From all the Indians back home and everywhere in the world a big thank you for bringing the World Cup Home.CONGRATULATIONS.arreeee thanks for the priceless birthday gift.”

The phrase “priceless gift” sparked interest online, reminding fans of an old interview where Dhoni humorously denied having received any priceless gift. In a 2019 interview from Mastercard’s ‘Priceless Moments’ series, Mandira Bedi asked him, “What is your most priceless gift?” Dhoni wittily replied, “I am waiting for the gift; it hasn’t come yet,” and added, “Once you said it, people won’t give you any more gifts.”

Fast forward to 2024, after the Men in Blue lifted the ICC trophy, Dhoni referred to it as the ‘priceless birthday gift’ just before his birthday on July 7.

Fans quickly connected the dots. One commented, “He always remember his every word…like just see she ask priceless and after years he added that priceless word….what a man.” Another wrote, “Wow it tends to make sense.” A third fan joked, “Waited? Abe 7th July hai birthday… just 1 week away. Advance me birthday gift.”
