Dhoni realised that although cricket is important, it is not everything. Zaheer

Chennai: MS Dhoni, who has a knack for taking the world by surprise and a desire to try new things, believes that although cricket is still important to him, it is “not everything.” This is according to his former India colleague, Zaheer Khan.

42-year-old skipper Virat Kohli is getting ready to lead the Chennai Super Kings in the next Indian Premier League. Four years ago, the dynamic former captain of India announced his retirement from international cricket.

“MS Dhoni realised a long time ago that cricket is his life and that he is passionate about it. But it couldn’t be everything, according to Zaheer.
Apart from his victories in the World Cup and India’s rise to the top of the Test world rankings, Dhoni has guided CSK to a record-tying five IPL championships since assuming the captaincy post at the league’s 2008 launch. Zaheer said, “It’s crucial to take a break from the game when you’re playing.” It’s not all cricket. Eventually, every cricket player must deal with this. AGENCIES
