He is still batting well. He prepares well. He comes early to the camp and bowls a lot. He has been in good touch throughout the season. As far as his body is concerned, we should protect him properly. Dhoni had a knee surgery after the last season. According to my own prediction, Dhoni will play for 2 more years. However, he will have to wait and see what the result is. He will take a decision. I think he will extend this drama a little more. So I don't expect him to take an immediate decision.

I know fans are expecting Dhoni to play a little more. Eventually he missed out because he had a knee surgery. But there is no one other than him who hits clean from the very first ball. He is a great player. He did not attend the captain's meeting. We are surprised. But he was clear that Ruduraj was the captain. It was an initial setback. But it got better after that. When Dhoni left captaincy we knew Ruduraj was the right person. Dhoni tries to help him. But Stephen Fleming is Ruduraj's idol.

Rudraraj is calm. He is a good thinker of the game. Taking over the captaincy after Dhoni is not an easy task. But Rudraraj captains brilliantly. As he progresses, he will improve even more. Fortunately for us, captaincy has not affected Rudraraj's batting. He is doing really well with the bat. ” he said.
