Ravi Shastri also highlighted the balanced and good temperament of Dhoni. He said that irrespective of the performance Dhoni remains calm. No matter if he scores a ton or zero, he will have the same temperament. I have seen Sachin Tendulkar losing his cool in a few instances, which is not the case with Dhoni, he said.
"Even if he scores a zero, or scores a hundred, or win the World Cup, or lose in the first round, it doesn't make a difference to him. I have seen a lot of cricketers, but there is no one like him. Even Sachin Tendulkar has a fantastic temperament, but he sometimes gets angry. But Dhoni doesn't,' Ravi Shastri said, talking about Dhoni's temperament.
Ravi Shastri had a good association with Mahendra Singh Dhoni. During his stint as the India Team Manager and the head coach, Shastri traveled with Dhoni and got the opportunity to get an insight into Dhoni's nature.
