Don’t think my daughter still recognises me, says Dhoni

Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is taking a long break from cricket and will be seen next in October during the limited overs leg of the series against New Zealand.

When asked what his plans were, Dhoni had a humorous take on it.

"I think after a long time, I will take some time off cricket after this series (T20Is). Don't think my daughter (15-month old Ziva) still recognizes me. I will make my daughter feel that I am her dad and spent time with family," said Dhoni.

While speaking about the India-Zimbabwe series, Dhoni said he was satisfied with the effort put in by the bowlers, who dismissed Zimbabwe in all the three ODIs -- 168 (49.5 overs), 126 (34.3 overs) and 123 (42.2 overs) respectively -- and then chased down the total with consummate ease.

"I think the execution has been really good, and that's the key factor. The fast bowlers and the spinners have taken wickets at some point of time and put pressure on the opposition, so I am happy with the bowling performance," Dhoni said after the match.
