‘Even I was questioning that…’- MS Dhoni reveals going through anxiety while watching T20 World Cup finals: WATCH

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was part of an event recently where he spoke on a variety of topics. During the show, the 43-year-old was asked to give his feelings watching the T20 World Cup finals. Rohit Sharma’s side beat South Africa to end their wait for an ICC title. 

Dhoni said, “We were at home; some friends had come over. The way the second innings was going, zyada tar dost bahar chale gaye the. They said to me, it is done, come join us outside. I said to them that in cricket, it is not over until it is over. None of them believed, even I was questioning but on the inside, I was asking abhi kya hona chaiye.”

South Africa needed 16 runs from 6 balls to win the title with Hardik Pandya bowling to David Miller. On the first ball of the over, Pandya bowled a low full toss as Miller went for a huge hit. Suryakumar Yadav took a smart catch near the boundary to change the course of the game. 

MS Dhoni gives his take on India’s monumental win 

India’s last ICC title win came under Dhoni when they won the 2013 Champions Trophy beating England in the final. The Men in Blue had come close to the title win in World Test Championships and ODI World Cup. 

Speaking during the event Dhoni said, “One of the things I firmly believed was that their batters were slightly light on the batting front. There was a time when they were cruising but when the stakes were high and it was very crucial, you get a chance and you want to do the most of it.”

“I think we did that and we won the trophy. Big congratulations to the guys on the field because that is the kind of energy, motivation, and belief that was needed. Irrespective of the result, till they don't win we need to keep pushing the game and that was the attitude," Dhoni also added 

It was during the same event that the former India and CSK skipper revealed his intention to continue playing. One of the most striking comments was that the 43-year-old stated that he intends to play for a few more years.
