MS Dhoni’s name alone is sufficient to define his legacy in India. Almost every child in the country is familiar with him. However, it is peculiar that his brother’s identity remains unknown to many. Let’s meet Narendra Dhoni, the brother who has stayed away from the limelight since MS’s debut.
Narendra Dhoni, aged 51, completed his schooling in Ranchi and pursued college in Almora, Uttarakhand. He often resides in his village located in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, where his father Pan Singh and mother Devaki frequently visit him.
In 2007, Narendra got married, and over the years, he and his wife welcomed a daughter and a son. While he primarily lives with his family in Ranchi, he also takes them to his village from time to time. Professionally, Narendra joined the Samajwadi Party in 2013 after leaving the Bhartiya Janta Party.
MS Dhoni, one of India’s finest captains, is the youngest among the three siblings. Unlike his brother Narendra, he shares a strong bond with his sister. The relationship between the two brothers has been strained for quite some time, resulting in Narendra’s exclusion from MS Dhoni’s biopic.
Due to a family dispute, the two brothers have limited interaction. There are speculations that a financial disagreement between MS and his brother arose during 2008-2009 when MS was at the peak of his career. It was regarding the allocation of two of MS’s apartments in Ranchi for an old age home, which his brother allegedly gave to his in-laws instead. As a result, MS distanced himself from his brother. However, no concrete evidence of this incident has surfaced, and it could potentially be a rumor.

Many fans were unaware of MS Dhoni having an older brother. Narendra Singh Dhoni was also overlooked in the cricketer’s biopic, ‘MS Dhoni – The Untold Story,’ leaving us with little information about him. However, netizens have recently discovered Narendra Singh Dhoni’s Facebook account, and screenshots of his old posts have begun circulating on the internet. A Twitter user even shared an inappropriate post made by Narendra Singh Dhoni in 2016.
