Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has always been known for his calm attitude on the field, regardless of the situation. It was something because of that he had earned the nickname 'Captain Cool'.

However, ex-India pacer RP Singh recently recalled an instance where he saw Dhoni losing his cool to make sure Suresh Raina listened to his instruction.

“We were in Sri Lanka and Raina was coming too forward at cover while fielding and Dhoni was warning him not to come too close,” Singh told cricket.com. “Few deliveries later, Raina missed a ball and then MS firmly told him to go back as he was instructing. He could be terse and firm when he wanted. Although he was never vocal or scream but he too used to get angry.”

Sharing his first impression of Dhoni, RP revealed that even though they met during a domestic cricket match, he was aware of the Ranchi dasher since he had already started making heads turn with his stellar performances.

“First time we met was in domestic cricket in the Deodhar trophy. He had come since he wasn’t part of the playing XI for East Zone. Then, we met in a camp in Bangalore. But I was aware of him because in UP and Bihar there used to be so many unofficial tournaments and he was already a big name when we met in Gwalior for the first time,” Singh said.

“He is a very reserved person and is happy with a limited circle of people. He has always loved the quarantine time. It hardly affects him because he would always stay indoors, stay in his own world, play video games etc. He has always been an introvert. He does not believe in having too many friends.”

MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday (August 15), bringing down the curtain on an illustrious career.

Dhoni’s achievement as a cricketer is awe-inspiring, to say the least. He boasts more than 17000 international runs and has etched his name in the history books as one of India’s finest leaders.

Dhoni is the only skipper in the history of cricket to have won all the three ICC trophies – 2007 World T20, 2011 Cricket World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. He has also led India to the pinnacle in Test cricket.
