“He likes smoking a bit of the sheesha or the hookah” – George Bailey about MS Dhoni in the past
MS Dhoni used to have hookah sessions with kids to bond with them, according to former Australia T20 captain George Bailey. Bailey was a member of the CSK squad from 2009 to 2012, as well as the Rising Pune Super Giants club captained by Dhoni in 2016.
In a 2018 tribute video for MS Dhoni, George Bailey revealed some lesser-known facts about the renowned wicketkeeper-batter.
“He likes smoking a bit of the sheesha or the hookah. So, he quite often would set that up in his room, and it was very much open door policy. You would go in and quite often find a lot of younger players there. For India or lot of other cricket teams, it can be hierarchical, but he certainly broke that down.
“You just find yourself in his room late at night chatting inevitably about the game or about different facets of the game or about different people and with different people it’s a great way to break down barriers.”

He added:
“The greatest thing that I took from him was his ability to remain calm to impact the calmness of the team. With the chaos and whatever might be happening on the game on numerous occasions, when you saw him being so calm behind the wickets or with the bat in hand, you firmly believe that he’s got a plan.”

George Bailey scored 63 runs in three IPL games for CSK. Later in the 2014 IPL season, he led Punjab Kings to the final.
