After humiliating exit from T20 world cup, Dhoni apologized to his fans for his team's poor show and offered his under built house to his fans to vent their anger. "There is no excuse for our poor performance which has really disappointed the fans. I apologize for the team's poor performance and also offer my house in Ranchi, which is still under construction, to my fans so that they can attack it again and give vent to their anger at my poor showing." said MS Dhoni after India's defeat to England.
"I dedicate this loss to my house in Ranchi which has resolutely faced the brunt of my fans wrath. I'm now offering this house to my fans who are free to do with it as they please. If at the end of my cricketing career, it remains unbuilt, I would consider my captaincy and cricket career as a failure."
Dhoni also said that his under-construction house will store hundreds of his ready made effigies which can be burnt by his fans whenever India under his captaincy doesn't fare well in any international competition. There will also be a storeroom filled with garlands which the fans can use to garland his effigies when India under his captaincy wins any international competition.
For the first time, Dhoni spoke on the controversial issue of his absence at the Padma Shree award ceremony. "I believe that this award, like the plot in Ranchi, belongs not to me but to the cricket fans of India who feel they have the right to demand that government of India take back whatever award or reward has been granted to me, whenever me or my team performs badly"
He added that from now onwards, the Padma Shree award would also be kept at the same house for the benefit of his fans. "They can take it away or hand it back to the President of India whenever my team fails."
