Watch: MS Dhoni's interviews 2005's Dhoni in unique video!

New Delhi, April 3: On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of India's one of the biggest victory ODI World Cup 2011, a unique video featuring former Indian skipper MS Dhoni was released on Youtube.

 

 

The 4-minute long video, which has gone viral, features the present self and his younger version from 2005. The 39-year-old Dhoni interviews his younger self and also gives out suggestions.

 

 

In the beginning, Dhoni congratulated his younger self for his impressive 183 versus Sri Lanka in only his second year in international cricket, i.e. in 2005. Chasing a mammoth 299, courtesy Kumar Sangakkara's 138, India were 7-1 in 0.5 overs when Dhoni walked out to bat at No. 3.

 

In that match, Dhoni carried his bat throughout the run-chase to blast a mammoth 183 off 145 balls, laced with 15 fours and 10 sixes at a staggering strike rate of 126.21. He was well-supported by skipper Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and Venugopal Rao as India closed the run-chase with 6 wickets and 23 balls to spare.

 

 

Dhoni explained the significance of mental planning and execution to his younger self and asked him to be prepared for sacrificing on his top-order spot, soft drinks and butter chicken. On the other hand, the younger Dhoni lauded his older version for sacrificing on a lot of his favourites for consistency and discipline.

 

Further in the interview, the younger Dhoni quizzed the experienced campaigner about his favourite innings and the former Indian captain named his 2011 World Cup final innings. The right-hander had promoted himself at No. 5 and remained unbeaten on 91, versus Sri Lanka, in a tense run-chase to win the trophy for the Men in Blue. The present Dhoni confirmed that he will never give up on biking and the younger one breathed a sigh of relief. Here's the whole video:
