Former Indian skipper and five-time IPL winning captain MS Dhoni has been popular for his calm nature on the field even in pressure. However, there have also been some instances where the wicketkeeper lost his cool on the players on field. Veteran Indian pacer and Dhoni’s former Chennai Super Kings mate Mohit Sharma revisited the infamous incident that took place during the IPL 2019 fixture between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
During the final over of the match while CSK were chasing 152 runs against RR, Ben Stokes bowled a high full toss to Mitchell Santner, but it wasn’t given a no ball by the umpire. After that, Dhoni ran onto the field and had a heated exchange with the on-field umpire regarding the no-ball.

During his recent podcast with 2 Sloggers on YouTube, Mohit Sharma revealed that the other players were trying to stop Dhoni from getting into the ground but the CSK skipper was very angry that he didn’t turn around and went on to field.
Mohit Sharma said the players from dugout were trying to convince MS Dhoni to not into the field during a match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2019. He said “Hum log dugout mein the, hum chilla rahe the, mat jao, mat jao, mat jao. Lekin unhone peeche mud ke dekha bhi nahi yar. Voh aise gaye hain na, jab laga ki bhai sher ghus gaya hai (We were in the dugout and we were like ‘please don’t go, don’t go’. But he didn’t even look behind. The way he went out on the field, then everyone was like that lion has entered the ground.)”

During the podcast, Mohit Sharma also revealed a story where Deepak Chahar put MS Dhoni’s patience on test during a match in IPL 2019. The right-arm pacer kept repeating the same delivery that made Dhoni lose his cool. Mohit Sharma revealed that Dhoni told Chahar not to bowl knuckle balls during a match in IPL 2019 at M.A Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
However, the fast bowler still bowled two-three more of the same kind of deliveries after which Dhoni went to him and said a few things. After that, Chahar went to Mohit and revealed what Dhoni said to him. According to Sportskeeda, Mohit Sharma said “After the match, he came to us and told us what happened. He told us that Mahi bhai said, ‘Bewakoof tu nahi hai, bewakoof main hoon (You are not a fool, I am).’”
