M.S. Dhoni – The Untold Story is all about the former India Test captain's journey in the world of cricket.

"It shows my childhood, playing football and then cricket. I was slightly lagging behind in cricket. Then, I went to Kharagpur," a smiling Dhoni said on the sidelines of a promotional event on Saturday.

"For me results are not always important. I am aware in India winning matters a lot," he said. "If I believed what I am doing is right, I never backed out, for what is important is doing right things at the right time."

Dhoni also said his biggest inspiration was playing for the country. "It is the same for any sportsperson. Not everybody gets a chance to play for India. And, to represent for 15 years is something special and cherish," he said.

On Sept. 24, 2007, India beat Pakistan to win the T20 World Cup. Dhoni recalled it as a fantastic achievement and that was possible because of the team effort.

"We had to take some tough decisions. And, we also knew exactly who should bowl the bowl-outs in that edition. The result was something very special for all of us."
