When Mahi proved his might

Dhoni paired with Sudhir in a doubles’ match against RP Singh who partnered with one Asit Singh,parent of a trainee. The duo of Sudhir and Dhoni took about an hour to quell aside the challenge of RP and Asit 2-1 in a best of three sets game.

Talking to The Indian Express,Sudhir Singh said,“I got a call from RP at around 5.30 pm that he would be coming to the badminton court along with a guest. The trainees were quite surpised when they saw Dhoni entering the stadium.”

Commenting on his game,Sudhir said,“Being a good wicket-keeper,he exhibited very good reflexes and his reach was also commendable. It looked like I was playing with a professional shuttler.”

The professional attitude was writ large on his face. He did not appear distracted by a large crowd of about 400 people which had gathered soon after the news of his arrival spread to trainees of other sports at the stadium. Even during the 10- minute break,he made it a point only to rest and did not answer any media queries.

Dhoni confided to his doubles partner that he loved badminton and in childhood had even played with plastic shuttlecocks.
