It is inherently strong and enduring, and a symbol of what lasts across moments and through life&#8217;s journeys. These very qualities inspired us to create Men of Platinum, a brand philosophy that celebrates men who choose substance over show, permanence over trends, and character over display.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis special edition draws directly from the values that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has embodied throughout his extraordinary career. He displays calm under pressure, resilience through all challenges, and leadership that is rooted in integrity rather than noise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PGI unveiled The Men Of Platinum \u2018MS Dhoni Signature Edition\u2019 in October 2024.

I felt that whenever I wore gold or silver, I didn\u2019t score runs. This was during my school cricket days, so I decided not to wear anything at all for a long time. Eventually, watches became the only metal I was comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p>When I was introduced to platinum, I found the metal interesting. Platinum feels strong, resilient, and solid\u2014very much like how I see men. (Not that women can\u2019t wear it; of course they can.) But platinum has a certain weight and presence.<\/p>\n<p>When PGI came into my life, it opened doors for me to experiment. They\u2019ve been kind enough to create pieces in my own designs, and I\u2019ve been wearing platinum for a couple of years now.<\/p>\n<p>I genuinely like it\u2014and I\u2019m no longer superstitious about it. Since I\u2019m not playing international cricket as frequently now, the old \u201cparameters\u201d of superstition haven\u2019t really kicked in. So I\u2019d say it\u2019s working in my favour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three Platinum Moments of Dhoni\u2019s Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always difficult to pick moments because we usually remember what\u2019s freshest or what feels biggest in hindsight. The three big moments would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>T20 Cricket:<\/strong> The 2007 T20 World Cup<\/li>\n<li><strong>ODI Cricket:<\/strong> The 2011 World Cup in India<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test Cricket:<\/strong> Saving a Test match at Lord\u2019s in 2007, which eventually helped us win the series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Test cricket is special because it\u2019s not always about winning a trophy. Sometimes, it\u2019s about that one match where you feel you truly contributed in a way that mattered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenging \u00a0Situations on the Field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the toughest pressure often comes when everyone expects you to win. If you win, people say, \u201cOf course you did.\u201d If you lose, it becomes, \u201cHow could you lose to them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to respect every opposition and prepare the same way, no matter who you\u2019re playing. Tosses, a few good deliveries, or a brilliant individual performance can change everything. Those matches made me the most alert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>His Love for Gaming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started gaming quite early, back in the days of DOS games. I enjoy first-person shooters and simulator games. In the early 2000s, I even travelled for a match with an Alienware gaming laptop \u2014 it was heavy, but worth it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not the shouting type while gaming. Some people get very loud and excited, but I usually respond in mostly \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d. That\u2019s just how I am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On His Calm Demeanour<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing in the moment is what keeps me that way.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of thinking about the result, focus on what you can do right now. Whether you\u2019re batting, bowling, or fielding, ask yourself: <em>What is my role at this point?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This approach naturally controls your breathing and heartbeat. Staying present makes pressure manageable.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t look at statistics too much. God has been kind to me. I\u2019ve had a good international career, and I\u2019m grateful for it. But cricket is a team sport. If one bowler hadn\u2019t taken a crucial wicket or one fielder hadn\u2019t affected a run-out, many tournaments could have gone differently. I appreciate everyone\u2019s contribution and try not to dwell on the past.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favourite sayings is:<br \/>\n<em>Nobody can add one run to what I have scored, and nobody can deduct one run from it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>On Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leadership keeps evolving because players change, rules change, and the game changes.<\/p>\n<p>I learn not only from my experiences but also by watching other captains and coaches. I believe in learning from others\u2019 mistakes too\u2014you don\u2019t always need to make the mistake yourself to understand it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>His Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Growing up, it was Sachin Tendulkar.<\/p>\n<p>After I began playing for India, my biggest motivation became representing the country and contributing in whatever way the team needed.<\/p>\n<p>Today, my motivation is still cricket. Everything I have is because of this game. These are probably my last few years of competitive cricket, and I want to enjoy every moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life\u2019s Rules To Live By <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be honest with yourself and set your own expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Practice and preparation matters. When you know you\u2019ve done the hard work and been in tough situations before, you gain confidence that you can handle what comes next.<\/p>\n<p>Every tense situation is an opportunity to prove that you belong there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At an unforgettable Men of Platinum exclusive event, hosted by Platinum Guild International \u2013 India on 3 February 2026,\u00a0 \u201cThe Thala of Cricket\u201d, MS Dhoni, interacted with the audience at Taj Lands\u2019 End, Bandra,\u00a0 fielding questions just like he expertly wields his bat.
