    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mumbai, July 12:<\/strong>&nbsp;Former South Africa captain and current Director of Cricket South Africa Graeme Smith has said it is hard to find anyone in world cricket that didn&#39;t get along with veteran Indian wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I seriously doubt that you probably find anyone in world cricket that didn&#39;t get on with MS. He went about his business. He was calm, he was collected,&quot; Smith said on Star Sports show Cricket Connected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former India captains Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly celebrated their birthdays earlier this week. Smith also spoke about BCCI President Ganguly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;And again, like Sanga(kkara), was to spend a fair amount of time with Dada &ndash; in administration, we are having a number of conversations over the telephone. He&#39;s always calm, approachable, always interested in a good conversation, so a lot of respect for both men.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara also had good words to say about Dhoni and Ganguly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He (Dhoni) did come home in Colombo for a meal with Yuvraj (Singh) one night. We had a great chat. He was very approachable as a person,&quot; said Sangakkara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I did get to know Dada quite well over the years. I really enjoyed speaking to Dada on everything, Test cricket...playing cricket, captaincy...I think Dada I got to know a lot more intimately,&quot; the former Sri Lanka captain added.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">What if <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/msdhoni?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@msdhoni<\/a> was your roommate?<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTune in to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CricketConnected?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CricketConnected<\/a> tonight for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GautamGambhir?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GautamGambhir<\/a>&#39;s experience &amp; much more, plus <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GraemeSmith49?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GraemeSmith49<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KumarSanga2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KumarSanga2<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jatinsapru?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jatinsapru<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qq1qZPfYle\">pic.twitter.com\/qq1qZPfYle<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StarSportsIndia\/status\/1281927337433432064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>",
