I'm playing cricket and would like to focus on it: Dhoni

Speaking during the trailer launch of 'M S Dhoni: The Untold Story', Dhoni said, "It's a difficult question to answer. When I was growing up, there were only two options in my life - playing cricket and study. When I got a job, there was security that even if cricket doesn't happen, then I have a respectable job in hand. I will have to see the positive and negative side and think in which role people will like to see me. I will look into it later as right now I am playing cricket and I would like to focus on that," he said.

Dhoni said he believes in living in the present and does not think too much about the past or future. 

"I take learning from my past, and one needs to have goals for the future, but the important thing is the present. You have to find motivation from either family or friends or people around you. For me, my country is my biggest motivating factor," he said.

When Dhoni entered the world of cricket, he did not imagine that he will play for the Indian team or climb this high. 

"I have never played cricket thinking this is my milestone. When we used to play cricket in school or park, our only aim was to win the game. Milestones can never be used to decide your future," he said.

"Had that been the case, then Michael Phelps should have retired after winning five Olympic gold medals. It's about how much one can continue in their work, how good one is and how one can take it forward," he added.

Taking about the 'M S Dhoni- The Untold Story', during the press conference, Dhoni praised Sushant Singh Rajput's effort to play his character in the biopic. 

Dhoni said Sushant had played the famous 'Helicopter Shot' identical to how he plays it. 

Sharing a few funny moments from the making of the film, Dhoni revealed that Sushant at times asked too many questions from the 'caption cool', which required Dhoni to take a lot of breaks - as he was "tired of talking about himself.".

Releasing on September 30, "M S Dhoni: The Untold Story" also features Anupam Kher, Kiara Advani and others.
