Ajinkya Rahane Reflects on MS Dhoni's Leadership and Managing Social Media PressurePreviousNext

Former Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane reflected on MS Dhoni's calm and approachable leadership, highlighting Dhoni's open-door policy for teammates and clear personal boundaries. Rahane, who recently retired from international cricket, also shared his strategy of disconnecting from social media during series to maintain focus, a habit inspired by advice from England's Ben Stokes during the 2017 IPL. He emphasized personal routines like watching shows, reading, and spending time with family to stay mentally refreshed.
