Image Source: newscrunch.in[/caption] Internet Desk: It seems MS Dhoni is losing his cool when asked about his retirement. The Indian captain resorted to an unusual way of dealing with the same question, as he conveyed his desire to continue to play, though the brunt of his sarcasm-laden jibe fell not on an Indian scribe but on a Australian journalist. During the post match conference yesterday, Dhoni was asked about his future in international cricket.  An apparently peeved Dhoni, dealt the question in his unique style in a funny as well as sarcastic manner. He had lost his cool a few days back during the same World T20 after India narrowly beat Bangladesh in a Super 10 match. "You’ve achieved almost everything in the game, are you keen to continue on playing," Cricket Australia reporter Sam Ferris asked Dhoni. To the surprise of everyone present at the post match conference, Dhoni invited the Australian scribe to sit on the chair next to him on the dais. "Come here, let us have some fun. Please come...seriously," Dhoni told the Australian journalist. The bemused reporter came up to the dais amidst a peel of laughter in the conference room and Dhoni promptly put his hands on the shoulder of the scribe and asked him questions in a role reversal. "You want me to retire, seriously?" Dhoni asked the Australian scribe. "I am asking that to you," the reporter said. Pat came the reply from Dhoni: "I was hoping it was Indian media guy asking me this, because I can’t really say if you have a brother or son who can play for India, as a wicketkeeper. "Dhoni shot his next question at the scribe: "Do you think I am unfit, by seeing me running (in the field)?" The Aussie felt he was perfectly fit. Dhoni stopped the conversation and told everyone present at the press conference room that the query about him is answered. Whether he will continue playing till 2019 World Cup will depend upon what the selectors feel about him. Most importantly a lot will depend on BCCI President Sashank Manohar’s opinion. The Board President was present yesterday at the Wankhede to watch the final.
