One occurrence of MS Dhoni blowing his top has arisen in R Sridhar's life story, where the ex-handling mentor referenced how the previous India skipper was left fuming at his players.
MS Dhoni has always been known for his quiet disposition despite the fact that there have been episodes when even the incomparable 'Skipper Cool' lost it. A portion of those minutes have been caught on television – like the frigid cold piercing look at Mitchell Johnson in the wake of slamming into the previous Australia speedster or shouting at Manish Pandey at the non-striker’s end for not focusing on him. He once indignantly strolled onto the pitch during an IPL match to stand up to the on-field umpires over a no-ball call, to go with those incalculable brassy reactions to columnists attempting to make their own pegs.
However, one case of Dhoni blowing his top has arisen in R Sridhar's account, where the ex-handling mentor referenced how the previous India skipper was left fuming at his players. Dhoni, who has always set exclusive requirements of handling – one that went far in India winning the 2011 World Cup – got straight to the point taking a gander at the dropping shoulders of his teammates.
"Getting back to my initial days with the Indian group... following MS' inputs, we started to set out handling house up in light of the World Cup. We were playing West Indies at the Feroz Shah Kotla in October 2014 - a game we dominated easily yet where we were totally disgraceful on the field. MS was enraged at what he saw to be an absence of exertion and plunging wellness norms," Sridhar, who turned into the handling mentor in 2014, wrote in his book ‘Coaching Beyond’.
India, who had lost the first ODI and were following 0-1 in the series, required the second match by 48 runs however frailties continued. Had it not been for the chief's unbeaten 51 off 40 balls, India would have battled to reach 263/7. At one phase, West Indies were cruising at 170/2, preceding collapsing to lose eight wickets for 45 runs and getting bowled out for 215. A noticeably vexed Dhoni had said after the match: "I feel many things are absent. We need to try harder. We have not played to our true capacity. This game is an essential stunner for us. We are on the triumphant side, however we might have lost this." As Sridhar called attention to, when the group got back to the changing area, the players got a seriously earful from MSD.
"In the changing area, he destroyed the group and gave them a final proposal, clarifying that on the off chance that they didn't fulfill specific guidelines in handling and wellness, they wouldn't make the World Cup cut, regardless of what name they reply to. That showed me the sort of handling society he was hoping to lay out in white-ball cricket," he added.
The match Sridhar is alluding to is the second ODI of the scandalous Windies pullout series. The visit which at first included five ODIs, three Tests and one T20I, was diminished to four one-day internationals after the third match was dropped because of twister Hudhud. At the hour of the fourth ODI in Dharamsala, the then-West Indies skipper Dwayne Bravo uncovered during the throw that the group was forsaking the remainder of the visit because of a compensation question between the players and the West Indies Cricket Board.
