He was only 26 when he led Team India from the front to a win in the Inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007. There's been looking back since then. It was one victory after the other - ODI World Cup 2011 and again ICC World Cup in 2013. MS Dhoni was the only cricket captain in the world to win all three of the major ICC trophies, under his captaincy. No wonder then that he has attained a cult status wherever he goes. He is worshipped not just sports aficionados but by every single person around.
Provoke Lifestyle Magazine caught up with an exclusive interview with MS Dhoni in Bangalore at the invitation of Rigi for Prabhav 2023, an electrifying gathering of creators coming together to inspire, collaborate, and celebrate the spirit of innovation and imagination. MSD was in his usual calm demeanor that he is known for, as he spoke to us about his days at the top of his cricketing career, the new innings in his life post the announcement of his retirement from international cricket, his inspiration and beyond.
How do you keep yourself cool when the situation is tense? Are you really cool inside or only the exterior that's cool?
I've always been someone who believes in the process. Even in a tense situation I don't think what if we lose the game, but on what the next step should be and what is the best way to make of the resources I have. If I have half a glass of water I don't think of the other half that's not there. I weigh the pros and cons immediately. It's important to take a good decision at an instant. It's not a boardroom where we can discuss and plan. There's no such luxury in cricket. You have to take that quick decision right there and then. I believe in the process and not the result. If you need to revisit you revisit the process and take the learning out of it. Don't take the excess baggage out of it or lament your loss. That's all irrelevant. You accept the loss and take the learning out of it.
