Untill recently, the 58-year-old Yograj was critical of Dhoni's captaincy and was blaming Dhoni for his son's exclusion from the Indian team.

"God bless Dhoni. I wanted him to score his hundred today," Yograj said.
"Yes, I have forgiven Dhoni. God will take care of his doings. I pray to God to forgive him for his evil against my son Yuvi."
