5 life lessons one can learn from Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s career

#5 Walk away

The best mentor one can ask for

Dhoni used to famously walk away after winning the trophy as he grew as a captain. He let the youngsters hold the trophy and enjoy the moment. In victory, the best performer was sent to bask in the glory and in defeat, Dhoni faced the venomous questions at the press conferences.

Just as he walked away from his Test career without much fanfare, there will come a day when he will call it quits in the limited overs format as well. After all, cricket is a part of life, not life itself. Walking away helps in focusing on what is important and not giving undue importance to oneself, or life’s problems. In the end, you have to look back at life and say to yourself, well played.
