Ayush Mhatre shares the key MS Dhoni lesson he uses to handle pressure

Mumbai vice-captain Ayush Mhatre has revealed the most significant lesson he has learned from former Indian captain MS Dhoni about managing pressure. Having observed Dhoni's calm demeanor during his time with Chennai Super Kings, Mhatre now applies the principle of not letting anger dictate decisions, as anger can impair judgment. Ahead of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, he aims to embody this calmness in his gameplay and leadership role, focusing on clear thinking and better decisions on the field. Additionally, Mhatre is prioritizing red-ball cricket and has made subtle adjustments to his batting technique to improve patience and shot selection.
