Former Indian batsman Virendra Sehwag stated that he had seen former caotain Rahul Dravid anger when MS Dhoni got out with a loose shot against Pakistan in the early phase of his career.
“I have seen Rahul Dravid got 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 told former fast bowler Ashish Nehra on Cricbuzz.
Sehwag further said that Dhoni was not in his zone at that time and was looking to stay in the middle order as long as possible.
“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 said,” Sehwag recalled.
