Rahane recalls Dhoni's open-door hotel room policy that united the team

Former India batter Ajinkya Rahane has revealed that MS Dhoni maintained an open hotel room policy during their playing days together, creating a relaxed environment for the squad. Younger players would regularly gather in Dhoni's room to unwind and play games, away from the pressures of cricket. Rahane shared these insights into the team's inclusive culture during a recent interview. The revelation came shortly after Rahane announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, marking the end of a distinguished career. Meanwhile, Dhoni's own playing future remains unclear following an injury that kept him out of the most recent IPL season.
