Ngidi further talked about one feature of Dhoni that stands out for Ngidi. It is Dhoni’s consistency. Ngidi believes that one of the most amazing things about Dhoni is to never disclose his emotional side. “He’s been very consistent; that’s the one thing I was amazed with the most… his consistency and how he carries himself behaves as a captain. For me, that was one of the most amazing things. Never show too much emotion but when you’d need to get a bit of a pick-up talk from the captain, he’d give it to you. Very amazing man and very happy to be playing under him.”
