Mahendra Singh Dhoni is called ‘Captain Cool’ in the cricket world. His quiet mood on the field and the ability to maintain patience in every situation makes them different from the rest. Seeing Dhoni, it is often said that no matter how difficult the match is, he always maintains restraint.
But do you know that Dhoni also sometimes loses his temper and even abuses? Recently, Mohit Sharma, who was the fast bowler of Team India and Chennai Super Kings, has unveiled the secret and shared an anecdote, which had never been revealed before.
Champions League anecdote
Mohit Sharma told in an interview that Dhoni’s anger broke out on him in a match played against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League T20. Actually, Dhoni had called Ishwar Pandey for bowling, but Mohit felt that the captain had called him. Mohit also started taking runs.
MS Dhoni furious with the umpire’s decision
Mohit said, “I had started taking runs, but Dhoni Bhai said that he had not called me. He had called Ishwar Pandey. Meanwhile, the umpire said that now I have to bowl. At the same time Mahi Bhai got angry and abused me.”
Anger did not calm down even after taking wickets
Mohit Sharma further said that he took the wicket of Yusuf Pathan on the very first ball of that over. The team also celebrated the wicket, but Dhoni’s anger did not diminish. During the celebration, ‘Captain Cool’ continued to abuse Mohit Sharma.
This anecdote of Dhoni tells that even though he is called a quiet captain, he is also a human being on the field and does not back down from showing anger. However, this is the specialty of Dhoni that despite anger, he knows to take the team in the right direction.
