When he began his profession as a captain, the Indian group was full of legendary gamers comparable to Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, and others. MS Dhoni went on to exceed all expectations and have become probably the most embellished captains within the historical past of Indian cricket.
Whereas MS Dhoni was extraordinarily good at controlling his feelings on the cricket discipline, issues had been seemingly a bit totally different behind the scenes. His former India teammate Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed that he as soon as turned so indignant that he determined to ship former pacer S Sreesanth again to India mid-way by way of the tour in South Africa.
When MS Dhoni misplaced his cool:
MS Dhoni received indignant with S Sreesanth after the latter ignored the previous India skipper’s order to sit down within the dugout with different reserves whereas a recreation was happening. Sreesanth ignored the decision to get a therapeutic massage within the dressing room.
Ravichandran Ashwin himself was a reserve who performed throughout that recreation. With the spinner carrying bottles and helmets to the sphere, MS Dhoni requested him about Sreesanth. Upon studying that the bowler was refusing to sit down within the dugout, MS Dhoni had made up his thoughts to ship him again to India, leaving Ashwin shocked.
“I inform him Sree is upstairs within the dressing room. He tells me to inform Sree he has to come back down and sit with the opposite reserves,” Ashwin wrote in a guide titled ‘I Have The Streets- A Kutty Cricket Story’, co-authored by senior journalist Sidharth Monga.
“I return to my drink duties. The subsequent time I’ve to go together with a helmet. This time I can sense MS is indignant, and I’ve by no means seen him lose his cool. ‘The place is Sree? What’s he doing?’ MS asks sternly.”
“I inform him he’s getting a therapeutic massage. MS doesn’t say something. Within the subsequent over, he calls me to return the helmet. He’s calm now. Whereas giving me the helmet, he says, ‘Do one factor. Go to Ranjib sir. Inform him Sree shouldn’t be excited by being right here. Ask him to guide his ticket for tomorrow so he can return to India,” added Ashwin.
Ashwin recalled that he was shocked by Dhoni’s comment and was simply speechless. Sreesanth quickly realized that the matter was getting out of hand and instantly joined the reserves within the dugout.
“I’m shocked. I’m unsure what to say. I’m simply gazing his face. MS goes, ‘What occurred? You don’t perceive English both now?’
“Sree rapidly will get up and will get dressed. Not solely that however now he assumes the drinks duties. The subsequent time MS wants a drink, Sree makes positive he costs out,” wrote Ashwin.
