Fresh from the success of his Chennai Super Kings team in the IPL third edition, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni says, he has another grueling two-week tour for the World Cup in West Indies, reports DNA.
Dhoni described his passion about bikes. He says, "I ride mostly in Ranchi and at times in Mumbai too. I have 22 bikes now and plan to have more of them. But I have hardly been able to ride it in the last few months because of cricket."
Dhoni is one of those cricketers in the current Indian team who has a huge female fan following. So how does he handle all the attention? He says, "There is no particular way of dealing with a female fan. Once when I was in Kolkata, a girl suddenly came and hugged me out of nowhere. It took me by real surprise."
Though Dhoni is a style icon, he labels himself 'a casual dresser'. "My style is what I am comfortable in," he says. So who is his favourite designer? Pat comes the reply, "Narendra Kumar Ahmed."
Dhoni is also very fond of dogs. He says, "I have three of them — Zoya a Weimaraner, Zara, a Labrador and Sam, an Alsatian. When asked about his favourite Bollywood actors, he says, "John Abraham is my favourite actor. Bipasha (Basu) is a close friend and my favourite actress. I also like Chitrangada Singh."
Asked about the frenzy of his fans, Dhoni says, "It's not that I don't lose my cool, I just don't show it."
About Team India's preparation for the T20 World Cup, Dhoni says, "The preparation is going well," and gives credit to the just-concluded cash-rich Indian T20 cricket tournament for providing a "lot of match-practice to the players."
