Lastly if i don't mention here his calmness on the field it would be injustice to him because this quality of him makes him unique specially in teams like India where mostly players are not that much of maturity/calm.MS Dhoni is India's asset and they should give him due respect which is surely deserves.
Best of luck to Dhoni for his future life.
