Rahul Dravid Was Very Angry With MS Dhoni, Recalls Virendra Sehwag

Although Dravid has always been a calm and patient guy in cricket on and off the field, Virendra Sehwag mentioned an incident when he saw the angry side of Dravid.

While talking to former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra about Dravid’s new ad during a Cricbuzz video, Sehwag said, “I have seen Rahul Dravid get angry. When we were in Pakistan and MS Dhoni had been a newcomer, he played a shot and got caught at point. Dravid was very angry with MS Dhoni. ‘That’s the way you play? You should finish the game.’ I was myself taken aback by the storm of English from Dravid, I didn’t understand half of it.”

Sehwag also revealed that when MS Dhoni came to bat in the next game, he wasn’t hitting shots much as he did not want to be scolded by Dravid again.

“But when MS Dhoni next came in to bat, I could see he was not hitting shots much. I went and asked him what was wrong. He said he did not want to be scolded by Dravid again. ‘I will finish the quietly and go back,’ Dhoni had said,” Virender Sehwag further said.

Dravid was India’s skipper before 2007 when MS Dhoni took over the captainship. After MS Dhoni made his international debut back in 2004, he played many matches under skipper Dravid. 48-year-old Dravid has been always known to have a ‘gentleman personality’ in cricket- keeping his anger and temper in control on and off the field.
