However, unlike most cricketers, Dhoni stays away from media. He is rarely active on social media. His number of interviews have also reduced over the last two-three years. In a recent chat with Shoaib Akhtar on his YouTube channel, former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri disclosed that although he worked with Dhoni for so many years, he still does not have his personal phone number.

Shastri discussed the nature of various Indian cricketers with Akhtar. Many fans would know that both retired Asian cricketers are in Oman right now for the Legends League Cricket 2022. Shastri is the commissioner of the league, whereas Akhtar is a member of the Asia Lions team.

Shastri highlighted that he was completely opposite off the field as he preferred to stay calm and chilled. Comparing Kohli to Rohit Sharma, Shastri added that Sharma is laid back like MS Dhoni.

MS is just unreal, one of a kind, whether it’s a duck, century, lifting the World Cup, he does not care. I have seen many players but there is none like MS Dhoni. Till today, I don’t have his phone number, I’ve not even asked for it. I know he does not carry a phone around with him.”
