Banerjee remembers Dhoni as a boy with ‘tremendous willpower and sincerity.’ ‘When we had matches, there were times when he used to be inside the classroom with the bus waiting to leave for the venue. The team would wait for him. I wanted him to board the bus earlier, but he left the class and joined us only after the period got over. When I think of it today, it is this approach to life that has made him such a fine player. He was a focused boy. Besides, he was always very calm, which shows in his captaincy today.’
