Former India cricket captain MS Dhoni is fully invested in a rural lifestyle at his sprawling 43-acre farmhouse named ‘Kailashpati’ in Ranchi. Known for his calm presence on the field, Dhoni brings the same focus to farming — closely monitoring the organic cultivation of vegetables and fruits whenever he is at home.
High-End Organic Produce
Dhoni grows a wide range of vegetables and fruits including tomatoes, broccoli, French beans, peas, and strawberries. Since all of it is organically cultivated, the produce is priced higher than market rates. He is known to ensure quality standards and is personally involved in the farming process.
Kadaknath Chicken at ₹1000/Kg
One of the most talked-about features of Dhoni’s farmhouse is his breeding of Kadaknath chickens — a rare black meat chicken variety known for its high nutritional value. These organically raised chickens are sold for around ₹1000 per kilo and are available for direct purchase from the farmhouse.
Dairy Production and Supply
Dhoni also maintains a herd of 40–50 cows, which supply milk to some of the finest sweet shops in Ranchi. His dairy operations follow the same organic principles, contributing to the high demand and reputation of his produce locally.
Cricket Meets Farming
Though immersed in agriculture, Dhoni continues to remain connected to cricket. He has hosted several gatherings and celebrations at his farmhouse, welcoming current and former Indian cricketers to the peaceful retreat in Ranchi.
IPL 2025 Update
Despite Chennai Super Kings’ poor performance in IPL 2025, where they finished at the bottom of the table, Dhoni remained a crucial figure. He was retained as an uncapped player for ₹4 crore and took over CSK’s captaincy mid-season.
