Reason why he became farmer

Actually, Dhoni told that when the whole country was troubled by the Corona epidemic. At that time all the people were in the houses, could not get out. He had nothing to do then, so he cultivated 40 acres of land near his farmhouse. Farming is the one of his hobby that he fondly enjoy.

“I come from a small town. We were already familiar with farming when we were kids. This was not a new concept. We had about 40 hectares of land, but only 4-5 hectares were farmed. “I felt that now was the perfect time to start farming full-time because of the pandemic and the extra time,” Dhoni said.
