London: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Team India captain, won’t mind going through the process of his brain being mapped, provided needles aren’t “poked everywhere.”

“I haven’t personally received any communication from the Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi... It may have been sent home and I’ve been overseas for months now...

“In principle, I’m okay with the brain mapping, but not if needles are poked everywhere,” Dhoni told The Telegraph.

The Ranchi institution wishes to study the “reasons” behind Dhoni’s success as a leader.

Dhoni is a World Cup and World T20-winning captain. Besides, he took India to No.1 in the Test rankings, a position lost just a few days ago, after 20 months at the top.
