MS Dhoni

If there is anything that stands out about MS Dhoni, apart from being humble and cool-headed, is his honesty. And, recently former India cricket Sanjay Manjrekar got a piece of Dhoni’s brain, when he had a brief chat with the India limited-overs captain.

In his column for a website, Manjrekar wrote how he managed to get a piece of mind from MS Dhoni, when he dumped into the Captain Cool while shooting for a television commercial.

The former Indian batsman asked MS Dhoni, what is the single reason he thinks has made him an outstanding sportsman? To which the Captain Fantastic came up with a fitting reply “You have to be honest to yourself”.

Although, the response of MS Dhoni was quite right, but Manjrekar further wrote that he wasn’t impressed with the answer. However, the Indian captain elaborated, saying he knew his limitations, which helped him attaining success as a cricketer.

“You have to be honest about your own ability,” MS Dhoni further explained. “Had I tried to make a career in another sport, I would not have been successful.”

“I knew my limitations as an athlete, and with those limitations I was reasonably confident of achieving some degree of success in this sport,” Dhoni added.
