When Dhoni lost his temper, Michael Hussey opened the unheard of 2018: I will bat in my own way.

Delhi: Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni’s attitude towards the game is based on his calm and balanced nature, which remain under pressure. But if someone has crossed Dhoni’s peace and got wrong in his eyes, then that experience can be quite shocking.

Hussey coaching

Dhoni’s former partner and current CSK batting coach Michael Hussey shared an incident, which was with Dhoni in the IPL in his first coaching season. Hussey, who was part of CSK from 2008 to 2013 and returned for one year in 2015, joined the team after two years of ban in 2018. CSK made it to the playoffs that year and clashed with Sunrisers Hyderabad in qualifier 1.

Data sharing and Dhoni’s response

Hussey said that before an important match, he had obtained data about Afghan spinner Rashid Khan, in which it was told how Rashid bowls differently between his wong ‘An’ and leg spin balls. Hussey thought of sending this data to Dhoni’s batting team, but Dhoni’s response shocked him.

Hussey said, “I thought whether to send it to the batsmen or not, because I did not want to fill more things in his head a day before the game.” But then I thought that if I did not send me, I will never forgive myself, so I sent this data to the batting group. “

Du Plessis response

Hussey also told that Faf du Plessis, who likes such information, immediately reacted, “It is fantastic, yes, yes.” However, Dhoni’s response was very different in this matter. Hussey admitted that the experience of working with Dhoni was amazing, but he also understood that working with Dhoni should avoid putting more information in the minds of the players.

Hussey’s shocking experience

Michael Hussey recalled a funny incident and told how Dhoni sat in the pavilion after being dismissed against Rashid, looking directly in my eyes and commented on his batting style. Hussey said, “He came and looking at me directly and said, ‘I will bat in my own way, thank you and then sat down with me. I just kept sitting shocked, and then understood that my coaching career is over! “

Dhoni’s method

After this incident, CSK again met SRH in the final and won the IPL title for the third time. However, Dhoni later went to Hussey and cleared the matter. Hussey said, “Dhoni is a very good person, and after the match he told me, ‘The information was very good, but I needed a little more time and some net session to understand and process it.”
