MS Dhoni turns the tables on journalist

Following India's exit from the World T20 tournament in their own back yard on Thursday, much was made of captain MS Dhoni's possible retirement from international cricket.

India succumbed by seven wickets to the West Indies in a thrilling semi-final in Mumbai, leaving the Windies and England to fight it out for top honours on Sunday.

Quizzed on his future, the 34-year-old skipper took the question about his future at a post-match media conference in it's stride and found time for some light-hearted banter with Australian cricket journalist Sam Ferris.

While the heartbroken Indian cricket public may not have appreciated Dhoni's antics, it certainly served, if anything, to cut the tension with a knife and underline how important those little human qualities are in sports people, even in defeat.
