It is always interesting to remember that MS Dhoni wanted to be a Footballer, but fate had some other plans.

He was a Goalkeeper for his school team, but luck played its part and he eventually became one of the greatest cricketers to grace the game. Even during his cricketing days, MSD used to include Football in his training. The game helps in warm-up and the former India skipper was inclined towards it.

As stated earlier, MSD is a huge Football fanatic, so, in this special piece, we talk about what if MS Dhoni was a Football, which position would he have thrived on and much more.

MS Dhoni, the perfect midfielder

A lot of people would disagree, but MS Dhoni would have thrived in the midfield position, had he chosen the game. Yes, he was a natural goalkeeper, and used to play at this position for his school team, but hear me out.

Midfielders in Football need to have a great IQ. They need to be quick in their decision-making and these are the traits which the India legend possesses. During the Cricketer Vs Bollywood Celebrity Football match in 2017, MSD took a couple of free-kicks, something which the midfielders tend to do.

MSD and the club he would have thrived in

The legendary cricketer would have been a perfect fit for Real Madrid. Just like Real Madrid, Dhoni is known for his winning habit. Just like Madrid, he has won it all during his playing days. His quick decision-making would have helped Madrid win more trophies.
