Speaking to L Sivaramakrishnan at the toss, the former Indian captain said that while this will be his last game as captain in the Indian blue, he will continue to lead franchise-based team and also the state-side in future.
“It is a special game. My last game as captain but I’ll be captaining in the IPL and probably Jharkhand as well,” Dhoni said at the toss.
