Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player S Badrinath has made a revelation about the things that he has learnt from the legendary India and CSK captain, MS Dhoni.

MS Dhoni, who is regarded as one of the best captains of all time, had won Cricket World Cup 2011, T20 World Cup 2007 and Champions Trophy 2013 as a skipper for India National Cricket Team. Also, he led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to 4 title victories in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Meanwhile, Badrinath expressed surprise at MS Dhoni’s trait of remaining ‘emotionless’ and ‘reactionless’ in ups and downs.

“There is one thing that I like and dislike about Dhoni. It is… We would have won a thrilling match. We would have played superbly and won it. He will remain reactionless. He’ll take the trophy in hand and give it and go away,” said Badrinath.

“Then we would lose matches very poorly. Against RCB we failed to score 120 runs in one match in Chennai. We lost. He will still remain emotionless. I’d think in surprise — what kind of a person is Dhoni, how does he stay calm and reactionless through all ups and downs.”

I have learnt a lot from him, By controlling the emotions, you can get a lot of clarity – S Badrinath

Badrinath further said that the reason behind Dhoni’s success is that he controls his emotions to get more clarity and that’s the thing he likes about the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman.

“That’s the thing I like about him, and that’s the reason for his success too. I have learnt a lot from him. By controlling the emotions, you can get a lot of clarity.

“So say for example someone is bowling, and I don’t like him. Or I don’t like his school. Inside, you’ll feel a rage to attack him when you’re batting. That is an emotion. That can lead to a false shot and you can get out. No, you should not have emotions. You should play the ball, not the bowler,” he elaborated.

Badrinath also said that he has learnt from Dhoni not to get caught up in emotions and to remain in the moment.

“Be in the moment, don’t get caught up in your emotions. That’s what I’ve learnt from MS Dhoni. It’s a big, big thing. I’m trying to implement it. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is born with that ability!” added Badrinath.
