Team India’s star wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni received the nickname ‘Captain Cool’ for his calmness during difficult times during his captaincy days. Dhoni is believed to have very little anger on the field.
But former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has revealed the incident in 2007 in which Dhoni was very angry after being dismissed during the warm-up session in 2007.
Remembering that incident, Irrfan said in the Star Sports show Cricket Connected, “It is a matter of 2006-07.” We had a match during the warm-up in which the right-handed batsman played like a left-handed batsman and a left-handed batsman as a right-handed batsman. We went to practice after the warm-up was over.
Irfan said, ‘So there were two teams during the warm-up. Once MS Dhoni felt that he was not out, he threw his bat and left as soon as possible and then lay down for practice. So they get angry. ‘
Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains in the world. He is the only captain to win all three major ICC tournaments. Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 T20 World, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
