1“It’s a very good feeling. It’s a big thank you from the fans’ side, that’s what I belive. Whatever last few years I’ll be playing, they [the fans] are saying, ‘thank you so much for whatever you’ve done’. It’s amazing!,” shared Dhoni during an interaction with Star Sports.
“Especially when you play a sport, what you want is the appreciation of fans. When it comes to cricket, India isĀ the place to play. Being a part of the Indian cricket team is one of the biggest things. I’m not playing international cricket, so the IPL is the next-best thing which could happen,” he added.
“I don’t get goosebumps but it’s a kind of feeling; whenever you walk in, everybody’s very excited. They want you to do well. Even at times if you’re playing against the team that they want to win, they still want you to perform, contribute a bit, whatever it may be. So yeah, it’s an amazing feeling,” concluded Dhoni.
