We had a camp in Bangalore. When I reached the hotel, I was told that Dhoni is my roommate. I was told that he is from Ranchi. I had seen Dhoni playing in the Deodhar Trophy earlier as well. Where he had scored a lot of runs. Apart from this, I did not know him much at that time. Then we were roommates in Bangalore for a month. Dhoni was carefree. While playing for India, he played a reverse sweepshot against a Pakistani bowler named Iftikhar Anjum which was beyond my imagination. Because I had never seen Dhoni hit such a shot in the nets. Dhoni did not bat much in the nets. He used to bowl to other batsmen in the nets except Dinesh Karthik. Akash further said, ‘Dhoni’s phone used to ring a lot. But he never picked up the phone. ‘Once I asked Dhoni what time he sleeps. He said that you can sleep whenever you feel like it. Dhoni was a non-vegetarian and I was a vegetarian. But he ate vegetarian food for 1 month for me. He was also very shy at that time.’
