Who is MS Dhoni's 'favourite bowler'? CSK veteran names Jasprit Bumrah - Watch
MS Dhoni, who is enjoying his time off the field since IPL 2024, was recently asked by a fan, in an event, to name his current favourite bowler. Without second thoughts, the veteran Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star named Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah was last seen in action during Rohit Sharma-led India's triumphant run in the 2024 T20 World Cup, in West Indies and USA. The speedster ended as the Player-of-the-Tournament with 15 scalps, third-most, at an economy rate of 4.17.
When asked the tough question at theevent, Dhoni said, "Current favourite, it’s easy to pick a bowler since Bumrah is there. It’s difficult to pick a batter because we have several good batters but that doesn’t mean bowlers aren’t good. It’s difficult pick one among batters as whomever I see batting, he looks the best but then I see someone else he also looks great. As long as team India are doing fine, I don’t want to pick a batter but I hope they will keep scoring runs. However, I have picked my favourite bowler."

He also ended with 19 scalps in India's 4-1 Test series win over England on home soil, early this year before shining in the T20 WC.
Talking about Dhoni, he was last seen on the cricket field during IPL 2024, where Ruturaj Gaikwad-led CSK failed to reach the playoffs and ended at the fifth spot. To date, there remains no clarity regarding Dhoni's IPL future.
