'MS Dhoni cried that night': Harbhajan shares details of CSK skipper's rare 'emotional' meltdown

 

Harbhajan revealed a very rare moment with Tahir when Dhoni failed to control his emotions in front of his CSK teammates.

MS Dhoni continues to mesmerize fans with his cricketing skills as he remains rock solid despite being in the twilight of his illustrious career. Dhoni, however, has refrained from making any statement regarding his retirement, which has raised the hopes of the fans, who want to see the legendary Sixer entertain them.

His former India and CSK teammate Harbhajan Singh also shared an untold anecdote related to MSD. Harbhajan revealed a very rare moment when Dhoni failed to control his emotions in front of his teammates. The incident dates back to 2018 when CSK returned to the IPL after serving a two-year ban due to a betting scandal.

“There is a story which I want to share. Back in 2018, when CSK made a comeback to this league after a two-year ban there was a team dinner. We must have heard the saying that 'Men don't cry', but MS Dhoni cried on that night. He became emotional. I think no one knows about this,” said Dhoni before asking his panelist Imran Tahir, who was part of the CSK squad, to shed more light on the incident.

Tahir stated: "Even I was there. It was a very emotional moment for him (MS Dhoni). Looking at him like that, I came to know how close this team is to his heart. He considers the team as his family. It was very emotional for all of us.

“We came back after two years and won the trophy, when people gave our team the tag of buddhe (old men). Even I was in the squad that season, but we won the title. I am very proud of that victory.”
