When Dravid scolded Dhoni in English, Sehwag said - I did not understand half

New Delhi. Rahul Dravid was known for his calm demeanor during his playing days and remains one of the most loved cricketers across the country even today. Dravid is rarely seen losing his cool both on the pitch and off the field. It was an example for young players who show aggressive behavior on the field. However, Rahul Dravid, popularly known as 'The Wall', once got angry on former Indian captain Mahendra Singh (MS Dhoni). In anger, he said a lot to Dhoni. This was when the young wicketkeeper-batsman was in the early stages of his international career.

In the early days of his career, the wicketkeeper-batsman liked to attack the opposition. He was after playing the best bowlers. He loved to play his shots and had the power to hit sixes against opponents at will. Dhoni was once dismissed while playing a flamboyant shot against Pakistan, after which he had to face the wrath of Rahul Dravid.

Dhoni was a freshman at the time and the wicketkeeper-batsman immediately changed his approach in the next game to avoid being scolded again by Dravid. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag shared this anecdote related to Dhoni and Rahul Dravid on Cricbuzz. Sehwag revealed that he himself was surprised by Dravid losing his cool on young Dhoni, but he noticed a change in the wicketkeeper-batsman's game in the next game.

Sehwag said, "I have seen Rahul Dravid angry. When we were in Pakistan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni was a new player. He played a shot and was caught on point. In such a situation, Dravid became very angry with Dhoni. He said angrily that this is how you play? You must end the game. I was surprised to see this scolding in English from Dravid himself. I didn't understand half.

He added, "But when Mahendra Singh Dhoni came out to bat next time I could see that he was not playing too many shots. I went to him and asked what had happened. To this Dhoni said that he does not want to be scolded by Dravid again. I will finish comfortably and go back. Let us tell you that Dhoni himself has also been known as a calm player. He is called 'Captain Cool' because of his calm style on and off the field.
