MUMBAI: India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has for the most part played retirement questions with a straight bat previously, yet the 34-year-old selected to go on an energetic assault when gotten some information about his future after the hosts' World Twenty20 semi-last thrashing.
Without a doubt India's best ever chief, Dhoni dazed all when he reported his choice to stop Test cricket amidst an Australian visit in 2014, giving over the mantle to Virat Kohli.
So it was not unordinary for a columnist to inquire as to whether he was quick to keep playing after India's seven wicket rout by West Indies thumped them out of their home competition on Thursday.
The Indian Twenty20 skipper, however, stepped of requesting that the inquirer come and sit by him in front of an audience and examine the matter.
"You need me to resign?" a smiling Dhoni asked with his arm hung around the anxious looking columnist.
"No, I don't. I was simply asking," the Australian columnist replied.
"Do you think I am unfit, taking a gander at me running?" Dhoni said.
The writer reacted: "No, quick."
"Do you think I can make due until the 2019 World Cup?" Dhoni asked, alluding to the 50-over competition in England and Wales.
"Of course, yes, beyond any doubt," came the answer.
"At that point you have addressed the inquiry," Dhoni said with a major grin while giving the writer a congratulatory gesture as he rapidly left the stage in the midst of chuckling from the room.
Dhoni has driven India to the World T20, the 50-over World Cup, the Champions Trophy furthermore the highest point of the world test rankings.
He said he would have favored one of his countrymen from the cricket-crazed nation to have examined.
"I would have asked whether he has a child who is mature enough to play and is a wicketkeeper to play," he said.
"He would have said "no" then I would have said possibly a sibling who can play and who is a wicketkeeper."
"You terminated the wrong ammo at the wrong time," he told the writer, with another grin all over.
