Chennai, Feb 26:
Under attack till very recently for India’s dismal shows, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni reckons that keeping himself shut off from all the criticism that came his way has helped him concentrate on his performance.
Dhoni, who smashed a game-changing 224 to play a big part in India’s eight-wicket victory in the first Test against Australia, said he had not changed his playing style despite the criticism.
Asked about the pressure on him due to recent failures of the Indian team and effect of criticism on his performance, Dhoni said he mostly tried to keep himself aloof.
“What really matters is the job I’m trying to do. The best thing I’ve done so far is to not watch news or read newspapers, so that has really helped, frankly,” Dhoni said at the post-match press conference. (PTI)
