India's legendary captain MS Dhoni has revealed a couple of names he will not have as a pillion.

The Chennai Super Kings legend has a massive affinity for bikes. He has an array of motorcycles, which are kept with care at his residence in Ranchi. But Dhoni is quite selective about the rider on the backseat of the vehicle.

Although we spotted a young Dhoni biking in Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium with Yuvraj Singh at the back, in a recent interview, the former India captain revealed two people he may not be willing to have at the back of his bike.

When asked about a cricket companion on the back of his bike, Dhoni revealed cricketers generally don't travel much on the bikes.

"It's difficult because not many cricketers ride motorcycles. Athletes are generally cautious about their safety," he said.

But Dhoni confirmed two people he won't allow on the back of his seats, former CSK player Suresh Raina, and his wife Sakshi.

"However, I can tell you one person I wouldn't take as a companion: Suresh Raina. When he's on a bike and sees a truck getting close, he starts moving around, making it difficult to control the bike."

"I think same is the case with my wife. A long time back, we were in Delhi and went for a ride. So, she was sitting behind. We were on the left side at a cruising speed. So, all of a sudden, I realized my bike is slowly, you know, moving towards the left. I thought maybe the tyre pressure or something is wrong. Then I realized there was a truck. So, my wife was like, there's a truck on the right, there's a truck on the right, and started moving to the left. So, that was the last time I was like, 'No, I'm not taking you for a ride,'" Dhoni added.

Dhoni Falling down from Bike

MS Dhoni also revealed that he has fallen down from the bike a few times and shared a hilarious anecdote about one of the falls.

"Once, in my colony, they had put big speed breakers. I decided to go around one through some grass, as it was monsoon season. The grass hid a difference in the height of the soil, and as I turned back onto the road, the motorcycle slipped, and I fell. The first thing I did was look around to see if anyone saw me. Thankfully, no one did, and I sheepishly got up and rode away," the CSK star revealed.
