"I am really enjoying my cricket," Dhoni said when asked of his captaincy plans, before making plain his annoyance at the media scrutiny. "I know this question was coming. I know the media really loves me. These are the questions that will keep popping up.” Hosts Bangladesh defeated India in two consecutive ODI) matches and subsequently won the current series at Mirpur in Dhaka, according to NDTV.
