India's Dhoni uncertain of playing in 2015 WC

India's World Cup winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not 100 per cent of playing in the 2015 edition and will decide on it two years before the mega event, the Press Trust of India reported.

"If you see 2015, still three, three and a half years to go. I don't really know where I will stand. Everything needs to go off well, and then by close to 2013, I will have to take a call whether I can really 100 per cent be available for the 2015 World Cup," said Dhoni who led India to second World Cup triumph in front of home fans earlier this year.

"You don't want a wicketkeeper in the side who has not played at least 100-odd games, at least close to 80-100 games, going into World Cup. So that's a call that needs to be taken. But if everything goes off well, 2013 end will be time where we will have to carefully study the body and see what can be done," said Dhoni, who was named CNN-IBN Sportsperson of the year.

The dashing wicketkeeper-batsman who smashed a six to get the winnings runs in the World Cup final against Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in April, would relish the opportunity of leading India to another triumph.

"Well, why not do it all over again? If you don't really have a dream, you can't really push yourself, you don't really know what the target is. It is important to stay focused, have short-term goals, not look too much in future, and try to win each and every series that is coming. Of course, you won't be able to do that," he said.

Dubbed 'Captain Cool', he has held aloft every cricket trophy in the world, from Twenty20 World Cup, IPL and Champions League T20 to 50-over World Cup, but is not 100 per cent certain to play in four years time.

Dhoni said he was so emotional after winning the World Cup early this year that he wept after the summit clash along with his team-mates.

"We all want to be part of a World Cup-winning side. The last time we won was 28 years back. So most of people (in the) side wanted to win the World Cup, and as soon as we got into a position where we saw World Cup coming into our dressing room, emotions started to flow. If you see, before the post-match presentation, almost every player cried," he said.

Asked if he also cried, he said, "Yes, I did. You don't have footage of that. It's very difficult to control emotion like that. I was controlling (myself). I wanted to quickly go up to dressing room, and I saw two players crying and running to me. All of a sudden, I started crying, and I looked up and there was a huddle around me. And each and every one cried."

About the pressure on Indian players to win the World Cup, Dhoni said, "I still remember playing the Australia quarter-final. People thought that was the biggest game when it came to the World Cup. Then it was Pakistan in the semi-final. I remember travelling and people were like, "Win this game and we don't care about the finals."

"As soon as we won the semi-final, it was like, "You have to win this because it doesn't matter what you've done. If you don't win the final it won't be really nice." So I think there was pressure, which was the ultimate thing," he said.
