“MS Dhoni is an artist of calmness, coolness, and taking good decisions in pressure situations”, Venkatesh Iyer Admires Ms Dhoni.
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is widely recognized and respected as one of the most exceptional leaders in the history of cricket. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, the Indian team achieved remarkable success, securing three ICC titles and experiencing one of their most triumphant periods.
During a recent podcast, young Indian cricketer Venkatesh Iyer shared his thoughts on a significant moment from a match between the Chennai and Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Iyer specifically highlighted the exceptional leadership skills displayed by MS Dhoni, which ultimately resulted in Iyer’s dismissal during the game.
Venkatesh Iyer “I was batting and I played a shot and was caught by the fielder at short-third man, and I thought to myself, short third-man shouldn’t be there in the first place, he was standing in the wrong position,”I asked him (Dhoni) after the match, ‘Bhaiya kyu’, and he replied ‘the way you were batting, all the fielders should have been a lot finer. That’s why I had put him a tad bit fine, and I was like I had never thought about it,.”

He also admired Ms saying “I think it’s his composure, his ability to not react in pressure situations, to be calm and composed in a state of mind where he’s neutral. That allows him to make better decisions, we always associate MS Dhoni with making good decisions, because he’s able to attend that state of mind where he’s composed, “MS Dhoni is an artist of calmness, coolness, and taking good decisions in pressure situations. What he can do, no one else can in the world,”.
