Yes, you read that right, Dhoni's famous bat with which he hit a huge six to bring glory to a billion people was sold at an auction and it fetched a huge price of Rs 83 lakhs in London.
The bat featuring Reebok's label was auctioned shortly after the World Cup, wherein R K Global Shares & Securities Ltd (India) acquired it during the MS Dhoni 'East meets West' charity dinner on July 18. You'd be surprised to know that the bat created a Guinness World Record which remains till date.
The money raised from it was used for the development of the charity of MS Dhoni's wife Sakshi, which goes by the name of Sakshi Foundation.
Meanwhile, Guinness World Records on their official website about MS Dhoni's bat wrote, "The most expensive cricket bat was Mahendra Singh Dhoni's bat sold at auction for £100,000 ($161,295), bought by R K Global Shares & Securities Ltd (India), at the M.S Dhoni’s ‘East Meets West’ Charity Dinner, in London, UK, on 18 July 2011. The bat was used by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in World Cup 2011 finals on 2 April 2011 art Wankhede Stadium at hit the winning shot."
Having won the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, and ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, Dhoni became the only captain in history to win all three ICC major titles as skipper.
While he retired from national duty back in 2020, the 40-year-old continues to go strong for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL.
