Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virender Sehwag may have had their share of differences, but the India captain jumped to his vice-captain's side when he was asked a prickly question at Lord's yesterday.

A scribe asked Dhoni as to why should Sehwag stay with the team despite being out of the World T20 due to a shoulder injury. Dhoni shot back: "Where is the harm if he stays in the same hotel? He is our friend and colleague. I see no harm. He can be monitored by the physio and we will learn about his progress too."

Dhoni impressed members of the fourth estate with his behaviour at the press conference before his side takes on the West Indies at Lord's today.
Looks like Dhoni's cooling down process is successful after his tiffs with the media ever since India played their warm-up match against Pakistan last week.
Dhoni expressed his disappointment over Sehwag's absence, but believed Rohit Sharma did a good job opening the innings, a task he considered himself or Yusuf Pathan for before deciding on Sharma. Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Younis Khan said Dhoni should have not clashed with the media. "There will be controversies but you have to move on," he said.
Younis was confident that Pakistan would be a stronger force with the inclusion of Abdul Razzaq and hoped for an India vs Pakistan final on June 21.
