Fans and friends of city boy Mahendra Singh Dhoni have supported his decision to take a break from cricket for two months to train for the Territorial Army. “The media shouldn’t speculate because Dhoni has not spoken to the media about his future plans. “Dhoni was part of the Territorial Army training in the past too. Homemaker Sabita Mishra, an avid Dhoni fan, too, supported his decision, saying his performance has taken a beating because of incessant play. Sports journalist Neeraj Kumar Jha, however, said Dhoni has taken a calculated decision to stay away from the West Indies tour.
