After the Toss the skipper  took the opportunity to send the important message.

"Often we talk about soldiers and get patriotic before the 26th of January and 15th of August. What's important is to get up everyday and thank them for what they have been doing and in the same way the contribution of mom, we need to appreciate it in the same way. We have couple of changes," Dhoni said.

"I think it's a brilliant initiative (speaking about the special jersey designed with mother's name). Also what's important is that, we are quite used to surname from dad's side, but its important to appreciate the contribution of moms. If you ask about me, I was always emotionally connected towards my mom. It's just that the mother's contribution often we don't appreciate it the same way. It's something I request and the whole of India should keep in their mind," he told.
