What do you think about Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s gesture towards MS Dhoni?
“Not to forget I have Andre (Siddharth) in my team. I sit on the last seat and he sits next to me. Was just having a chat and I asked him how old are you. He is exactly 25 years younger than me, that makes me feel I am seriously old,” he added.In trademark fashion, Dhoni remained non-committal about his IPL future. He said he would return to Ranchi, enjoy some bike rides, and take his time to make a decision on whether he will feature in the next season.“It depends. I have 4-5 months to decide, there’s no hurry. Need to keep my body fit. You have to be at your best,” Dhoni said after CSK’s big win over Gujarat.“If cricketers start retiring for their performance, some of them will retire at 22. I will go back to Ranchi, enjoy a few bike rides. I am not saying I am done, not saying I am coming back. I have the luxury of timing. Will think about it and then decide,” he concluded.
