Former India star Robin Uthappa recently debunked a big myth related to legendary cricketer MS Dhoni in an interview. There had been a belief that Dhoni loved to drink milk.

During the early years of his career, several media reports had also claimed that Dhoni drinks 4 litres of milk everyday.

Speaking on the matter, Uthappa, who has been a teammate of Dhoni in both the IPL and the national team, cleared that he never saw the player drinking milk.

Uthappa also talked about an 'irritating' habit of Dhoni. He revealed that the former India captain doesn't keep his phone with him which makes it very hard for anyone to reach him.

'I have never seen him drinking milk. I have never seen him drinking milk ever,' Uthappa said on The Lallantop.

'We talk regularly. He doesn't keep his phone which is a very bad and irritating habit. You can't reach him. Even after being such close friends, we need to inform his manager that we are coming. When we sit with him, it is like time hasn't gone by. There can be 20 people sitting there, but you connection with him will be the same,' Uthappa added.

Uthappa also recalled about his first meeting with Dhoni which took place in Mumbai at the Taj President Hotel back in 2004.

'The person I met in 2004 for the first time in Mumbai, I was introduced to him in Taj President Hotel during the Challenger Trophy. I met him for the first time, S Sriram introduced me to Dhoni. He was a Tamil Nadu senior and he was my good friend, and he was good friends with Dhoni. That's how we met. The man I met in 2004 is still the same, when I sit and talk with him, the level of friendship is different,' Uthappa said.
