Indian women’s cricket all-rounder Deepti Sharma compares former India captain MS Dhoni’s on-field composure to tennis player Novak Djokovic, saying both show a rare ability to stay calm and composed in high-pressure moments. Speaking as she attends The Championships at Wimbledon for the first time, Deepti says Djokovic’s mental strength and refusal to give up in difficult situations are qualities she admires. She adds that Dhoni, like Djokovic, handles pressure “very cool and calm,” and that his approach makes it seem as though he is not under strain even during tense situations.
Deepti also describes watching tennis at Wimbledon in person as a long-held dream, saying the atmosphere and energy feel different from television. She names Djokovic as her favourite tennis player and says she follows his games closely. When asked who she would like to accompany her for a day at Wimbledon, she cites three Indian cricket legends: Sachin Tendulkar, Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar, saying their knowledge would make for an enjoyable and informative experience.
