Calm and composed MS Dhoni

Winning big tournaments is not just about performing excellently from a technical point of view but also about certain soft skills. In such high-intensity events, your temperament is tested to the core. Very often, teams come under extreme pressure and it requires a very calm mind to rescue the team from tough situations.

In this ICC World Cup edition, the top 10 ODI teams will fight for the invaluable trophy and there will certainly be plenty of closely contested games. Without a doubt, only the team that can manage their nerves better will eventually come out as the winner.

Year after year, MS Dhoni has displayed his excellent composure in challenging situations and has led Team India to many famous victories. The most famous one is the ICC World Cup 2011 final, when the team was under enormous pressure after the early departures of their openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.

Once again, MS Dhoni’s invaluable presence on the field will keep every around relaxed and enable them to perform at their very best. Moreover, his serene persona will ensure that the team stays grounded after winning games and continues to stay focused for the rest of the tournament.
