MS Dhoni elaborated, “You know Bollywood is not really my cup of tea. As far as advertisements are concerned, I am happy to do them. When it comes to movies, I feel it’s a very tough profession and very difficult to manage. I would let the film stars do it because they are really good at it. I will stick to cricket. The closest I can come to acting is advertisements and nothing more than that.”
Shedding light on CSK’s ability to remain calm the captain elaborated, “We try to keep it as normal as possible. We try to prepare well by having enough sleep and prepare for the opposition we are playing against. We know that if we follow the process if we execute the plans well, if we do the small things right, we will get the desired result, we know the result is a byproduct and that also keeps us calm. We know that if we play to our potential, we can beat the opposition. If the opposition has to beat us, they have to play better cricket.”
