Former India cricket captain MS Dhoni used to be at his best in a press conference. His sharp and witty replies made sure the journalists always had their homework done before coming up with a question. 

Four years back, on this day, India was knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2016 after an unfortunate loss against West Indies in the semifinal.

India did manage to defeat Pakistan, Australia, and Bangladesh in the tournament, but West Indies outplayed India in the knockouts. 

After the match, Dhoni was asked about his future in international cricket. An Australian journalist named Sam Ferris wanted to know if Dhoni would continue to play for India or retirement is near? 

India didn't have a back-up wicket-keeper batsman then, who could come handy for future. Dhoni answered his question by calling him next to him. It was hilarious to watch. 

"Do you think I'm unfit?" asked Dhoni, "No," the journo said. Then the skipper asked, "You think I can survive till the 2019 World Cup?" Sam replied, "Sure, Yes!".

Dhoni then ended the conversation saying, "then, you've answered my question!"

The then India captain also added that the journalist fired the wrong ammunition at the wrong time.
