Maybe this is all in uniform, that I was not afraid,&quot; he said. Dhoni shared some light moments with the army personnel, who asked him how he managed to remain cool despite performing his stressful job. &quot;A day before any press conference, I go and sit in the fridge, that&#39;s how I remain cool,&quot; he said. During his time with jawans, Dhoni also met their families, happily posing for pictures and signing autographs for their kids.u00a0
