Calmness personified MS Dhoni has been a trailblazer for promoting fitness in Indian cricket. MS Dhoni as a skipper always emphasized on fitness. He preferred agile, quick and fit individuals who can save runs on the field and run quick ones and twos.

At 37 and having played over 500 international matches across all formats, MS Dhoni still stands strong and runs like a 27-year old.

The only difference between MS Dhoni in 2004 - his debut year and today is the grey stubble on his face.

Dhoni is still one of the quickest in between the wickets and while keeping his reflexes are still lightning quick.

The desire to snatch that one extra run for the team while batting and convert half-chances to wickets while keeping is what makes Dhoni strive for fitness.

Going into the 2019 World Cup he still remains the key player for India.
