00:00Dhoni just comes from another planet. You know, Dhoni's room is never locked.
00:03His door is always open. Anybody in the team can walk into that room anytime.
00:07He doesn't carry a mobile phone.
00:08Remember MS Dhoni saying once, that doesn't matter whether I hit a 100 or a duck,
00:12when I come home, my pet is there. It's always on my side.
00:30Who do you think is the best ever captain of the Indian cricket team?
00:33Nobody can give you that answer.
00:34Who do you think? It's a matter of opinion.
00:36Because captaincy varies depending on the conditions that you're captaining in.
00:39When Sourav Ganguly becomes captain, you needed that kind of person.
00:43When Rahul Dravid became captain, you needed that kind of person.
00:46The two in different roles wouldn't have been good.
00:48When Dhoni became captain, yes, but Dhoni could not take India to test cricket where Virat Kohli did.
00:53But Virat Kohli has not been able to win a tournament like Dhoni did.
00:56So, depending on the situation that exists with the team at that point,
01:00Dhoni became test match captain when Dravid had retired, Tendulkar was about to retire,
01:04Ganguly was gone, Kumble was gone and he's captaining a test side.
01:07So, he cannot win as much as some of the others did.
01:10So, if you look at win percent, then you don't know.
01:12But purely for the impact he's had on people, be Ganguly and Dhoni.
01:17Just for the impact they had on people's careers.
01:20Ganguly for nurturing a whole new generation of young players
01:24and Dhoni because he comes from another planet.
01:26Dhoni just comes from another planet.
01:28You know, Dhoni's room is never locked.
01:30His door is always open.
01:31Anybody in the team can walk into that room anytime.
01:34Room service will be ordered.
01:35There'll be something there.
01:36The room is never locked.
01:37But you can never call him on the phone.
01:40I met Dhoni once.
01:42In all these years, I met him once.
01:45Met him once?
01:46Socially.
01:47Socially.
01:48Once in all these years.
01:49How come?
01:50Because you cannot get in touch with him.
01:51He doesn't carry a mobile phone.
01:53He's got a mobile phone that only the very, very closest people have.
01:57That's it.
01:58Only the closest people around him have.
02:00When Dravid retired, he couldn't get in touch with Dhoni to tell him that.
02:03So, I met Dhoni once.
02:05Socially.
02:06Where is this once?
02:07Oh, it was in Australia where a friend had invited him home and I was there.
02:10My friend and I were sharing a flat that time.
02:12And we had dinner together.
02:14And after dinner was over.
02:16So, my friend did the cooking.
02:17I warmed the…
02:18We've got these half ready rotis that you get over there.
02:21So, I was warming the rotis.
02:22And we said, come, let's have a nice quiet evening.
02:24I think Suresh Raina was there and Dhoni's wife was there.
02:27When he finished, he got up, picked up his plate.
02:30And he knew that it's just these two people here.
02:32He washed his plate and he put it back there.
02:35That's all. That's the only time I met him.
02:36Wow.
02:37I've never met him.
02:38But he's warm now when we meet.
02:40Yeah.
02:41He's MSD, yeah.
02:42That's like…
02:44But you've got to get to know them.
02:45And you've got…
02:46In a social media area, it's very, very difficult to build relationships with players.
02:50Very difficult.
02:51When things start to go against you, you realise who's with you and who's not with you.
02:56And you realise there's one team that is always with you.
02:59I remember MS Dhoni saying once that,
03:01doesn't matter whether I hit a hundred or a duck,
03:03when I come home, my pet is there.
03:05It's always on my side.
