Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a man of few words, full of calm, consistency, and patience. The man who is best at what he does and never loses faith in himself. The infamous wicket-keeper, record holder, and stumper. But this is not all that makes him different from other players, it’s because of his replies. Some are witty, yet some are sensible and even some might take longer to understand if you don’t have the capacity to understand.
Here are some of the best replies MSD gave:
1. Reply To His Team’s Bad Performance
“I won’t count it as a bad performance. It was so bad, I can’t count it as a performance.”
2. His Take On Being Under Pressure
“It’s like having 100kg put over you. After that even if you put a mountain, it will not make a difference.”
3. Being Straightforward
“Whenever we have played with four fast bowlers, two things happen. One the captain gets banned, two we lose.”
4. Witty And Sensible Reply
“You die, you die. You don’t see which is the better way to die.”
5. Cheating Or No?
“If you are not 100 percent fit and not at your best [and still play], it’s cheating.”
6. Setting Milestones
“Till the full stop doesn’t come, the sentence is not complete.”
7. Only Umpire And No One Else
“Frankly speaking I don’t understand Duckworth-Lewis. I just wait for the umpire’s decision.”
8. Team India Defying Mumbai’s General Way Of Living
“We are told that Mumbai is a city which is always on the move. See, me and my boys have brought the entire city to a standstill today.”
9. It’s Okay If The Victory Wasn’t Ours
“The only thing that went well for us was the warm-up before the game.”
10. How Much Time For Australia’s citizenship?
“Another 20 days and you can apply for citizenship.”
Well, I’m sure you didn’t see this kinda reply coming, but here it is. Team India’s former captain is an absolute genius. No wonder why he was an asset for the team, entire India was sad when he gave up his captainship.
