He gave one such answer to one of his fans during the trailer launch of his biopic — ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’. The question was asked by a female fan about how to keep calm and cool even during the exams, to which Dhoni replied very wittingly and said, “There’s a very simple answer to this question and this has often happened in my life, so it is pretty easy to say for me.”
Dhoni further continued to explain his answer and added, “I think when you get the question paper in the exam, it’s already too late. You know, because if you have studied whole year then you must have remembered all the answers. Max to max, you may miss few but ultimately, you can write answers. That is why, whenever I visit to a school and interact with the students, I have always said that it is important to be attentive in everyday class, study a bit every day. Not like, study in last two months like hell and do nothing rest of 9 or 10 months of the year.” ALSO READ: Watch MS Dhoni explaining the lessons he learned from cricket and the ‘complex’ DRS
This was followed by a personal experience of Dhoni which includes a very interesting story about his school days. “Talking about my own life and relating the same with me, I think during the class 12th as you can see that in the trailer as well. We had a match and I was very hesitant in talking to my father. My mother had agreed to it but how to make my father, understand, that there is an exam but I have a match to play before that and just after the completion of the exam, I have to take a train to play another match and only then I will come back. So finally, after collecting some courage I went to my father and explained the scenario,” Dhoni said.
Dhoni’s father answered to him in a witty way, “My father answered it very calmly by saying that, son, if you have studied hard the whole year then one day won’t affect much and if you haven’t studied the whole year then still it won’t affect much. So, go and play.”
