RP Singh revealed that Mahendra Singh Dhoni failed to maintain his cool all the time on the ground. He narrated an incident where Suresh Raina was Dhoni to listen to him.
When Dhoni lost cool
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is famous for his calmness on and off the field. But there were times when even Dhoni lost his cool. RP Singh, former Indian cricketer told cricket.com recently that once in Sri Lanka Dhoni had lost his cool. He narrated, “We were in Sri Lanka and Raina was coming too forward at cover while fielding, and Dhoni was warning him not to come too close.” He added, “Few deliveries later, Raina missed a ball and then MS firmly told him to go back as he was instructing. He could be terse and firm when he wanted. Although he was never vocal or scream but he too used to get angry.”

First impression of Dhoni
RP Singh had debuted months before Dhoni but later had been captained by the Captain Cool. While he was asked to share his first impression on Dhoni, RP Singh recalled how they had met in domestic cricket. “First time we met was in domestic cricket in the Deodhar trophy. He had come since he wasn’t part of the playing XI for East Zone. Then, we met in a camp in Bangalore. But I was aware of him because in UP and Bihar there used to be so many unofficial tournaments and he was already a big name when we met in Gwalior for the first time.”

RP Singh continued to give idea of how Dhoni, the human being actually is. “He is a very reserved person and is happy with a limited circle of people. He has always loved the quarantine time. It hardly affects him because he would always stay indoors, stay in his own world, play video games etc. He has always been an introvert. He does not believe in having too many friends.”
