Former Indian and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni continues to defy age and impress fans with his exceptional skills on the cricket field. At 42 years old, Dhoni is currently playing in his 17th Indian Premier League season, showcasing his agility and talent that can rival even younger players.
Known for his impeccable wicketkeeping abilities and his ability to deliver crucial cameos in the last overs of a match, Dhoni’s brilliance in the T20 league has left many in awe. When asked about the secret behind his success, Dhoni credits his unique sleep timetable for keeping him sharp and focused over the years.
In a recent video shared by Star Sports, Dhoni revealed his unconventional approach to sleep during the IPL season. He explained how he would adjust his sleep schedule to match the late-night matches and post-match routines, ensuring he always got a minimum of 8 hours of rest.
Instead of sleeping early in the evening like most people, Dhoni would stay up late and sleep from 3 am to 11 am to ensure he was well-rested and never felt fatigued during the intense IPL season. This unusual routine, combined with his dedication to training his mind and body, has been a key factor in Dhoni’s sustained success in the cricketing world.
As fans continue to marvel at Dhoni’s exceptional performances on the field, his commitment to maintaining a healthy sleep schedule serves as a reminder of the importance of rest and recovery in achieving peak athletic performance.
