Mahendra Singh Dhoni has no qualms conceding that he is not immune to pressure and fear. India captain Virat Kohli was also quoted as saying that “mental clarity was important in life”. “Nobody really says that, when I go to bat, the first 5 to 10 deliveries my heart rate is elevated, I feel the pressure, I feel a bit scared because that’s how everybody feels — how to cope with that?” the World Cup-winning Captain Cool said. Highlighting the importance of a mental conditioning coach, Dhoni said: “Mental conditioning coach should not be the one who comes for 15 days, because when you come for 15 days you are only sharing the experience. Now, his participation in the World T20 is also in doubt as Dhoni hasn’t played competitive cricket for a long time.
