`I have not forgotten my roots'

"My parents never stopped me from playing. They gave me good schooling and grooming. They made a lot of sacrifices for me," says Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a chat with The Sportstar.

In the last one year I have learnt to read the game better. I play a different innings every time I go to the middle. It all depends on the situation. It is not just bang, bang. I like to play for the team. People talk of the 183 (against Pakistan). But I like the next knock at Pune. It was different. The innings against England were different. I did not attack because there was no need to take any risk. I could easily get six to eight runs an over. Let me tell you, I will never play for individual honours. It will always be for the team.
