All Dhoni could manage was a chuckle as Dr Baba again sprung into action stopping the journalist from probing further,\u201d says another report on <strong>Indian Express<\/strong>, adding that as far as cricketing queries were concerned, one got the routine predictable answers from the India captain &#8212;
