Marcus Stoinis Says MS Dhoni Is The Best Adviser When You Deal With Your Failure
During the post-match presentation, Marcus Stoinis revealed the secret to his success in these innings. He stated that MS Dhoni had a greater influence by advising players to stick to the basics in big games rather than trying something different. He also revealed the mantra, which is to remain calm and pose the question “Nothing affects you,” because once you do that, everything seems normal.
“MS Dhoni told this one thing to me. He said in big games, everyone thinks that I’ve got to do something extra. I’ve got to do something different. His mantra and how he speaks to himself is he stays there, he stands still and he says everyone else is going to change. I’m going to be the only one here that doesn’t change and that holds him ahead of everyone else.” said Marcus Stoinis.
