Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni interacted with aspiring cricketers of the Uri sector of the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir and advised them valuable suggestions about the game and how they can go about it.

Mahi told the youngsters that they need to focus on fitness first and then they can move on to skills. He was earlier at the Army Public School interacting with school students.

The official Twitter handle of the Chinar Corps of Army tweeted a video of Dhoni talking to cricketers and giving them valuable tips for the future. He said, “I have played badminton, hockey as well as football. I have benefited from it because it increased my fitness. We used to play on a huge ground where seniors also used to play and until the time they finished, we used to run, which increased our fitness.”

India’s 2011 World Cup winning skipper is currently not with the Indian team as they are playing Test series against Sri Lanka and he had retired from the longest format back in 2014. Dhoni will return to the Indian squad when they play Sri Lanka in a 3-match ODI series from December 10 followed by a 3-match T20I series.
