India's World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni has given the gift of Holi to the people of Ranchi. Dhoni's farmhouse will remain open to the common public for 3 days on the occasion of Holi, as anyone can visit the farmhouse in Sembo on March 17, 18, and 19 and buy vegetables and strawberries. It is being told that 250 grams of strawberry packets will be available for Rs 50.

Having served India for long enough, MS Dhoni is enjoying life post international retirement. After retirement, he has been heavily into farming at his 43-acre farmhouse located in Chambo near Ranchi in Jharkhand. The farm, known as Eeja Farms officially, also houses dairy cattle and poultry.

MS Dhoni cultivates strawberry, papaya and guava, watermelon, peas, capsicum, fish and wheat on a large scale in this farmhouse. Dhoni's Agriculture Consultant Roshan Kumar told India Today that Mahi has a great interest in farming and the former India captain keeps visiting the farmhouse from time to time and works in the fields. Apart from fruits, he also cultivates vegetables on a large scale.

Dhoni might have retired from international cricket, but he continues to feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In IPL 2021, he led the side to its fourth IPL title win. He has been retained by CSK for IPL 2022, while he has expressed his desire to play his final game at CSK’s home ground of the MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium in Chennai.

MS Dhoni will be donning No. 7 for CSK in IPL 2022 as the 4-time champions will look to defend their title. CSK will begin their season against last year's runners-up Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 26.
