MS Dhoni says he will continue to hit sixes if they are to be hit

TIL Desk Sports/ Mahendra Singh Dhoni has offered words of comfort to his die-hard fans, still coming to terms with his decision to sign off as India captain, with an assurance that he would continue to play the aggressive brand of cricket that made him what he is today.

Having relinquished limited overs captaincy after leading India to two World Cup triumphs during an eventful tenure that spanned nearly a decade, Dhoni captained the Men in Blue for one last time in a warm-up game against England last night.

The perfect finish may have eluded him, as his team lost by three wickets, but Dhoni, in a video chat with Yuvraj Singh, assured that he would continue to hit those trademark sixes if they are to be hit.

“If they bowl in my areas, the right areas and the situation permits I would look to hit sixes,” Dhoni told long-time teammate Yuvraj.

Dhoni’s stint at the helm had more ups than downs, and he called it amazing. “The journey has been good, fantastic… It’s good to have players like you (looking at Yuvraj), the job becomes much more easier. And enjoyed my 10 years, hopefully I will enjoy more whatever I have.”
