MS Dhoni came late for practice – Irfan Pathan
Speaking in an episode of Star Sports’ Cricket Connected, Pathan recalls one such incident when Dhoni became angry after getting dismissed during a warm-up session in 2007.
“It was in 2006-07. During the warm-up, we had a game where the right-handed batsman would bat with the left hand and vice-versa. After we finished the warm-up, we used to get into our practice,” Irfan recalled.
“So, during the warm-ups, there were two teams. Once MS Dhoni was given out which he didn’t think he was, he threw his bat and made a dash to the dressing room and came late for the practice. So, he does get angry,” he further said.
Well, as Irfan Pathan said, MS Dhoni is also a human being and there is no wrong in losing his control at odd times. However, there are many occasions when the Indian fans and cricket analysts witnessed MS Dhoni’s calmness on the field and his exceptional decision making.
