An undated video showing former India captain MS Dhoni and dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant partying with friends has surfaced across social media platforms, quickly going viral. The clip has sparked immense discussion, particularly due to a moment where Dhoni is heard telling Pant, "Ruk, Hookah Peeke Aata Hun" (Wait, I'll be back after smoking hookah).

In the widely circulated footage, Rishabh Pant can be seen appearing 'visibly intoxicated', half-laid and chatting with others in what seems to be a hotel room or private gathering. Dhoni, also present, is observed interacting with Pant before making the aforementioned remark about smoking hookah. The presence of both cricketers in such an informal setting has become a major talking point among fans.

Context of the Viral Clip

The precise date and time of the recording, however, remain unconfirmed, contributing to its 'undated' status as it circulates anew.

MS Dhoni's Image and Past Revelations

The video has surprised many, given MS Dhoni's renowned dedication to fitness and well-being, especially as he continues to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) post-international retirement. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Dhoni's affinity for hookah has been mentioned in public discourse. George Bailey, Dhoni's former teammate at Chennai Super Kings, had previously spoken about Dhoni's practice of setting up hookah sessions in his room as an 'open-door policy' to foster camaraderie and break down hierarchical barriers among teammates, particularly younger players.

Bailey's old statements, which were made in 2018, resurfaced alongside the initial virality of this video in early 2024, depicting Dhoni's unconventional approach to team bonding, leading to late-night discussions about cricket and life.

The divided opinions highlight the continuous public fascination with the personal lives of sports icons.
