Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, who has been on the commentary panel within the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), revealed an fascinating anecdote relating to Dhoni’s love for soccer and the way he needed to yell at him on one event to cease him from taking part in the sport.
The episode occurred earlier than the Asia Cup last when Shastri needed to shout at MSD in order that the previous India wicketkeeper-batsman didn’t harm himself.
“He loves football. It scares, the intensity he plays, you from the outside, you hope he doesn’t get injured. I remember before the Asia Cup final, there was dew, he went skidding five minutes before the toss,” mentioned Shastri on Star Sports.
“I’ve by no means yelled like that in my life, I mentioned cease the sport! Something like that. You do not wish to lose your most important participant in a sport towards Pakistan, as a result of 5 minutes later was the toss. But, to get him out, go away the soccer, unimaginable,” he added.
Dhoni is at present taking part in within the IPL the place his crew is but to win a single match. Their defeat towards SRH was CSK’s fourth consecutive defeat within the ongoing season and at present, leaving them at ninth within the factors desk, with 0 wins.
