MS Dhoni always walks in to bat amid a roar of approval reserved for South American revolutionaries. At this point, India needed 112 runs from 65 balls. “Surely the India fans here would want to see Dhoni give it a go,” added Hussain even as the camera panned on a stream of blue exiting the stadium. Dhoni’s bat remained gentle and India fell short of England’s total by 31 runs. A day after India’s final group game against Sri Lanka, Dhoni will turn 38, the same age Tendulkar was when Dhoni led him to a World Cup trophy.
