'Dhoni is a very principled man'
27-Jul-2014
Duncan Fletcher speaks to bcci.tv about his coach-captain relationship with MS Dhoni, whom he describes as an approachable man who "never pre-judges anyone".
What was the first thing that struck you about MS Dhoni?
That he is a very, very honest man. He would quietly sit down and discuss the point that he wants to make. He likes clarity when he is discussing something with you. What I really admire about him is that he is a very principled man. And because of his principles, he wants to give everyone a fair chance, sometimes to his own detriment. I try to share that sentiment with him because some people get a fair chance and the others tend to be judged in a different light. But with him it is very straightforward and simple; if you give one guy so many games to perform, it must be equal for everyone.
