Dhoni’s favourite subject

When asked about his favourite subject in school, the former Indian skipper replied, “That’s a difficult one! I was very good in Maths till class V, and after that algebra and everything came in, and I started playing cricket, so it became slightly tough. So, if I have to pick something, I would say I like Maths, the reason being I was good at it, and even after class VI, though I was quite bad, I loved geometry.”

While all the other school children crib about Math during their school days, Dhoni particularly enjoyed the subject that involves all the calculations and numbers something that has come to his aid as a cricketer as well.
