Overview

  • Sai Kishore said MS Dhoni routinely left his phone in the hotel and would not pick it up, describing a deliberate detachment from mobile use.
  • He said watching Dhoni operate in this way led him to question whether being active on social media was necessary.
  • Hindustan Times framed Dhoni’s approach as sticking to basics and process, with selection calls, field plans and guardrails that re-center players.
  • Kishore’s IPL path included a start at CSK in 2020 at ₹20 lakh without a game, a 2022 move to Gujarat Titans for ₹3 crore, and since then 25 matches for 32 wickets at about 8.85 economy.
  • Former CSK teammate Shreyas Gopal praised Dhoni’s humility and tactical people management, calling it exceptionally hard to emulate.
