Add IPL matches...

[Sehwag1830]

The @cricketicc research showed audience in UK (76%) and Australia (70%) is more male-dominated than in India (66%) and South Africa (61%)

You need loads of mental strength to turn up day in day out do what he is doing :hatsoff:

[Zap_Brannigan]

This is more important, Men’s international cricket accounted for 77% of all cricket viewership on TV; of the remainder, 22% was domestic T20 Considering that in the other polled countries, Aus, Eng and SA, the T20 viewership was probably lower than the IPL, the IPL viewership numbers are probably higher. Not bad for a 6 week tournament eh!

And add to that the IPL and the fact he is a wicketkeeper! :hatsoff:

[Executioner]

good job, being a wicketkeeper is a hard job. Youve gotta be on your toes all the time. And I dont see anyone better than Dhoni as captain. Ppl might call for Gambo but they shudnt forget that Gambo won because of a brilliant team, narine, he himself, kallis, sakib, balaji, and the best allrounder in the world and GG's beloved narine.

It has indeed been a long and tough year post World Cup for him with a series of disappointing results. Credit goes to him that he hasn't flinched during the period, hardly missing any game barring the Adelaide Test in January. It's apparent that it's his fitness and mental toughness that have helped him sustain the grind. Talking about his workload, Dhoni said: "Bulk of my workload is as a wicketkeeper. Keeping for 90 overs a day for such a long period isn't easy. Sometimes it becomes 190, specially in Sri Lanka. The reason I've been able to take the load is because I had started off training to become a footballer. That helped me develop strong legs."

Said this is an interview.

Definitely want to serve Army after cricket: MS Dhoni

POONCH: An honorary rank-holder for the time being, Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday said he would "definitely" want to serve the Army actively once he bids adieu to the game. Dhoni, who was inducted as an honorary Lieutenant Colonel in the elite Parachute Regiment last year, is in Poonch to visit the forward area of the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu region and also take a trip to the base camp of Siachen, the world's highest battlefield. "Why I got here is because of cricket. I would like to serve actively only after cricket. I don't want my cricket to suffer because that is something I am good at. Once my cricket career is over, I would definitely like to serve in the Army," Dhoni told reporters. The World Cup winning captain will visit the Northern Command headquarters in Udhampur on Sunday before leaving for Srinagar on tour of 15 Corps. From there Dhoni will head for the 14 Corps area in Leh and also the Siachen base camp. Dhoni will also visit north Kashmir's Baramulla district on Sunday to witness the final of the first phase of Kashmir Premier League (KPL) at the Shaukat Ali Stadium. "I will try to go to the frontline. It is very exciting because I will get to see the challenges the officers face. I knew the Army from a distance. Now I am getting to know the Army from close quarters. This is the first time I have come to a forward post," he said. The 30-year-old will also be interacting with the families of the Army officers posted in Poonch. "Families (of the Army officers) come here at this time of the year and I will get a chance to interact with them and I am sure the next few days would be exciting," he said. On the of-repeated issue of Indo-Pak bilateral cricket ties, Dhoni said, "It is important to make a start because sports is something that breaks barriers. The two boards have to decide when they decide to play each other. I have to go out there and play. So we will wait and see."
