Indian women’s cricket team all-rounder Deepti Sharma compares Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic and former India captain MS Dhoni because of their abilities to keep themselves in control during pressure situations.
Deepti Sharma observes that the Serbian tennis legend and India’s legendary cricketer share some similar characteristics despite being in different sports segments. The Indian women’s team cricketer drew the comparison during her visit to the ongoing Wimbledon, after the conclusion of the India Women's cricket team's campaign in the Women's T20 World Cup in England.
While talking on Jio Hotstar, Deepti Sharma stated that Novak Djokovic is someone who is known for his mental strength and never-give-up attitude, just like MS Dhoni. Whenever the situations seem to come with extensive pressure, both of the legends find ways to tackle those instances and walk out as the winners.
“When you talk about Djokovic, everyone speaks about his mental strength. He is someone who never gives up, no matter how tough the situation is. In cricket, I think MS Dhoni sir is very similar. He is known for being very cool and calm. Whenever pressure situations come, he handles them really well. It never looks like he is in a difficult situation. He handles pressure so easily," Deepti told Jio Hotstar.
"Both Djokovic and Dhoni have that rare quality of staying calm and strong when it matters the most,” she added.
