Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his calm and composed nature on the field, and his "cool" attitude was one of the factors that resulted in him getting the "Captain Cool" tag.
But Dhoni, too, has a temper, and one such time when he lost his cool was during the T20 International between India and Sri Lanka in Indore last year. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav was at the receiving end of Dhoni wrath when the youngster refused to make certain changes in the filed.
Yadav revealed the entire conversation during the show 'What the Duck'.
"Wherever I pitched the ball, it went for six. The ground was so small. After every six, I would look at Mahi (Dhoni). He would say, 'it wasn't that far, you should keep it further'," Yadav said.
"And when I was bowling my fourth over; the batsman reverse swept me for four. Mahi bhai came to me and said, 'remove cover, move him deep and bring point up'," Yadav recalled.
"And I said, 'No Mahi bhai, that's okay'," the bowler said.
"After hearing this, Mahi bhai got angry and said, "Kya main pagal hoon yaha pe, mai 300 ODI khela hoon (Do you think I'm mad? I've played 300 ODIs)'," Yadav said.
Yadav managed to get a wicket after making the necessary adjustments.
