Aakash Chopra seems to have excelled as a commentator and expert analyst of the gentleman's game in the last few years. This has been his second innings after he did not click as a cricketer as he could only play 10 Test matches for India from 2003 to 2004 respectively. He was then roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders for the inaugural edition of the IPL in 2008 which was his only IPL stint. Apart from commentary and expert analysis, Chopra is also active on social media and has won praises and criticism of fans on many occasions. This time, the stylish commentator has taken his experiment to a new level.

'Frustration is not constructive', says MS Dhoni

 "I also feel frustrated, disappointed and angry. I also feel the irritation if things do not go our way. But its all about how do you channelize that. It is about whether the frustration was leading to something wrong for the team. I feel equally emotional I feel angry at times I feel disappointed but what is important is none of these are constructive. What needs to be done at the moment is more important than any of these emotions. I am just like everyone else but I just control my emotions slightly better than some of the other individuals. But we Indians are emotional and we thrive on emotions, but I always felt my emotions should be in my control and it will help me think about the process than the result as results put you under pressure."
