I have formed the Mahendra Singh Dhoni Charitable Trust which organises cricket tournaments in Jharkhand to identify promising cricketers so that we can help groom them, either in India or abroad.

I never allow myself to be pressured.

I have joked before that there is a good chance that I might retire before Tendulkar.

A perfect smile is too often missing from the faces of the world. If cricket can provide more smiles, it is doing its job.
