'I'm not playing World Cup..': MS Dhoni's brilliant response wins the internet, watch viral video

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni, who led a young brigade to the World Cup 2007 title will not be a part of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup since the inception of the tournament. While Dhoni retired from international cricket two years ago, he was a mentor for the Indian team last year in UAE. 

Even though he has left playing international cricket, the 41-year-old continues to go strong in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will be seen leading the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming IPL 2023 campaign. 

Dhoni recently attended a promotional event and being the first and the only Indian skipper to win a T20 World Cup, Dhoni was questioned about cricket, when he came up with an epic reply to the anchor.
