MS Dhoni gives details of his one-minute meeting
It’s no secret knowledge that Dhoni kept his team meetings short, be it at CSK or for Team India. The Jharkhand hero has often said in the past that he likes to sleep in the mornings on match days and be fresh for on-field action.
“Our shortest team meeting ever was at CSK. IT was actually -1 minute. You can debate as to how you can have a meeting for -1 minute. The meeting was scheduled for 5:30 pm. All the players, support staff and everyone, we got together by 5:28. Then we said ‘everyone has come, let’s start the meeting’. By 5:29 pm, the meeting was over. 5:30 we left. So it was -1 minute,” revealed Dhoni.
MS Dhoni has secured all major trophies in his kitty
Known for his unconventional approach, Dhoni has found plenty of success at the highest level. While he became the only India skipper to win all 3 major ICC trophies — the T20 World Cup, the Cricket World Cup and the Champions Trophy, Dhoni also won 4 IPL trophies and 2 Champions League trophies with CSK.
The dynamic wicketkeeper will be back once again to lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023. Despite having retired from international cricket in August 2020, the 41-year-old will continue plying his trade in the IPL.
