Ex-India skipper MS Dhoni fined ₹1000 for violating traffic norms in Ranchi: Report

Former India skipper MS Dhoni has reportedly been fined ₹1,000 for speeding after his vehicle was found to have violated traffic norms in Ranchi.

According to a report in India Today, Dhoni was handed an e-challan under Section 183 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Dhoni was driving his vehicle near his house when Ranchi's traffic monitoring system recorded the violation. Once the traffic monitoring system recorded the violation, the e-challan was generated.

This comes in the aftermath of Sanju Samson being traded from Rajasthan Royals (RR) to CSK. To date, the 44-year-old has played 278 IPL games (for CSK and Rising Pune Supergiant combined), and has scored 5439 runs. He has registered 24 half-centuries.

Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings to five IPL titles, with the team's latest title coming in 2023 when they beat Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final. The Yellow Brigade, however, endured a last-place finish in IPL 2025, finishing with just eight points from 14 matches.

Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad had picked up an injury midway through the season, and Dhoni took over as captain for the rest of the season. The IPL 2026 season is reportedly scheduled to get underway on 28 March. However, the schedule for the upcoming season is yet to be released.
