As India was eight runs away from a win in the third match yesterday at Pallekele, some late drama off-the field led to a stoppage of play for nearly half an hour. Bottles were thrown on the field by angry Sri Lankan fans, who were seemingly incensed seeing yet another the lackluster performance by the home team.
Making maximum use of this time, Dhoni decided to recharge himself by taking a short nap on the field. Meanwhile, after a span of fifteen minutes, India came out to bat and chased down the runs. While Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on 124, MS Dhoni was not out on 67.
The incident proved once again that MS Dhoni is one of the coolest player in world Cricket.
Seeing this, Sunny Gavaskar, who was doing commentary said that Dhoni should be a citizen of Iceland. Ajay Jadeja and Murali Karthik used terms such as a refrigerator and an air conditioner to describe the coolness of former Captain Cool.
The career of Dhoni has seen many occasions where the Indian captain kept his cool under pressure cooker situation and deliver the goods for the Indian team.
