Mahendra Singh Dhoni gives in very little with his body language and that’s the reason he feels that people never asked him how he coped with all the baseless allegations levelled at him when 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal reared its ugly head.

It was more of how I dealt with it. I did not want to talk about it to others, at the same time it was scratching me. I don’t want anything to affect my cricket. For me, cricket is the most important thing,” Dhoni said on Hotstar’s new documentary on CSK.
