Back in 2008, during VVS Laxman\u2019s 100th Test when India played Australia in Nagpur, Laxman described more of a \u2018playful\u2019 Dhoni. That Test was also Anil Kumble\u2019s farewell match as he passed the baton to Dhoni to lead the team.<\/p>\n
VVS Laxman has mentioned in his autobiography \u2018281 and Beyond\u2019 that, \u201cOne of my abiding memories is of MS (Dhoni) driving the team bus to the hotel in Nagpur, during my 100th Test. I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes \u2014 the captain of the team driving us back from the ground!\u201d<\/p>\n
Laxman recalled two quirky moments from Dhoni\u2019s career which he witnessed in the latest episode of Star Sports\u2019 Cricket Connected chat show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still remember him coming back into the dressing room (after his maiden Test ton, versus Pakistan in Faisalabad in 2006) and loudly saying \u2018I am going to announce my retirement \u2013 MS Dhoni, mai hundred maara Test cricket mein, bas yaar [I, MS Dhoni, have hit a century in Test cricket that\u2019s it!],\u201d\u2009Laxman said. Recalling further he mentioned how Dhoni drove the team bus from the stadium to the hotel in Nagpur during the 2008\u2009Test series against Australia.<\/p>\n
