Mahendra Singh Dhoni opens up on his cricketing future: ‘I just want to…’

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most popular cricketers we have seen. While the former Indian captain has bid adieu to International cricket, he still plays the International Premiere League (IPL). At an event, the 43-year-young revealed that he will continue to play cricket like a child after this year’s upcoming IPL is over. He also recalled the way he approached the sport during his childhood.

He said, “I want to enjoy it, how I did as a child when I was in school. When I lived in a colony, 4 o’clock (in the afternoon) was sports time, so we’ll go and play cricket more often than not. But if the weather doesn’t permit, we used to play football. I want to play with the same kind of innocence… (but it is) easier said than done.”

Talking about how he wishes to spend the rest of his active life, Dhoni said, “I’ve retired since 2019, so it will be quite some time. What I’ve been doing in the meantime is I just want to enjoy cricket for the last, whatever few years, you know, I will be able to play.”
