Dhoni was always open to a chat with his players after a match and his hotel room would always be open for them after the games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;People think that Dhoni doesn&#39;t talk much. That is not the case. His room would remain open in the night after matches. Anyone could walk in, order food and discuss cricket,&quot; Nehra said while speaking to former India opener Aakash Chopra on his show &#39;Aakash Vani&#39;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Be it in CSK or in the Indian team, Dhoni would pass on the message on what he thinks a player needs to do during a conversation and that would be enough for the players to get the drift,&quot; added Nehra who played a lot of cricket under Dhoni&#39;s captaincy both for India and at Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nehra also spoke on former India captain and current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly, saying he was a leader who used to back his players to the hilt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Dhoni had senior players around him when he took over and the challenge was how to manage them. Dada had a team of juniors and he backed them to the hilt. He would go all out to back his players,&quot; said the former left-arm pacer who played 17 Tests, 120 ODIs and 27 T20Is.<\/p>\r\n",
