Dhoni’s promise
Former Indian pacer RP Singh was known to be quite close of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, former Indian captain. RP Singh recently recalled how Dhoni assured to be available even after retirement. “He has always been a down to earth and very composed person. We used to complain that he never takes our calls. Once he told Munaf (Patel) and I, that, when he retires, he would pick up the phone in just half-a-ring. Now we will check if really has retired.”
RP Singh continued, “We always exploited his extra allowance which captains are entitled to! On a serious note, cricketers’ off-field interactions are not very different from ones on the field. We often end up talking about matches and players so it was fun with him.”
