 "Dhoni a 'shy guy', started opening up after 2008 Sydney Test: Harbhajan")
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday said that MS Dhoni was a shy person when he joined the team and started opening up after the 2008 Sydney Test against Australia.
Harbhajan was doing an Instagram Live Session on the official handle of Chennai Super Kings and it was then that the spinner was asked to name his favourite memories with Dhoni.
Answering the question, Harbhajan replied: "We have played a lot of cricket together, we have done tours to probably all the countries, MS Dhoni was a very shy guy, he never used to come to our rooms, he was a very quiet guy, in the 2008 series against Australia, the Sydney Test brought the team together, from that time onwards, he started opening up".
