Guess what? MS Dhoni finally reveals why he collects stumps after every victory

If you’re a cricket fan or have watched a few cricket matches, you must have noticed Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s unusual ritual of collecting a stump to celebrate every victory?

At the start, a lot of people put it down to pure joy, but as time passed by, Dhoni’s peculiar post-game habit had everyone stumped- mostly because no one could figure why the wicket-keeper batsman did so.

There were a lot of theories floating around- like how his zodiac sign being Cancer made him a hoarder.

But, no for really knew for sure. Until now.

In an interview with BCCI.Tv, Dhoni finally explained the reason behind collecting stumps as a sort of memorabilia. And, turns out- it’s actually a part of his retirement plan.

He said, "That’s my retirement plan. The good thing is that I do collect a lot of stumps but the bad one is I don’t put a mark as to which match they were from. So, after I retire I’ll watch the videos of all my matches, look closely at the sponsors logos on the stumps and figure out which match a stump belongs to. It will be my post-cricket pass time!”
