Wishes are pouring in for the former Indian skipper MS Dhoni who retired from international cricket on Saturday. Legends are taking time to share their memories with MS Dhoni and they are coming up with tributes as well.
While talking to ESPN, former Australian cricketer and current Chennai Super Kings coach Mike Hussey said that MS Dhoni is a very calm person and he had seen him lose his temper only once.
“I think I’ve only seen him lose his temper once in all the times I’ve been around Chennai Super Kings. There are times when he gets frustrated, of course. Everyone does when the team is not winning, but MS is not a reactive person. He always looks at the bigger picture. He won’t make changes just for the sake of making changes or after a couple of losses. He knows things balance out in the long run. It was a strength of his leadership and it certainly gave a lot of faith, trust and backing to the players.”
He clarified that it was not the match against Rajasthan Royals where he got into an argument with the umpires.
“The funny thing was that even after the [Royals] game, he was quite chill and calm about it. He even had a joke about it. It was so out of character. We couldn’t even believe it, sitting on the side.
No, there was a game two years before, when he wasn’t scoring runs, the team wasn’t playing really well, and he wasn’t happy with the level of effort the guys were putting in on the field. He certainly let us all know we needed to lift our effort. Not so much worrying about the result but the effort we were putting on the ground,” he said.
Dhoni will be captaining CSK for yet another season and is currently in Chennai for the conditional camp. The team will be flying to UAE soon.
