MS Dhoni's anger is rare but fierce

Overview

  • Sharma told CricTracker that during a CLT20 game against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014 he began his run-up after mishearing MS Dhoni’s call, which had been intended for Ishwar Pandey.
  • He said the umpire required him to complete the over once the run-up had started, prompting Dhoni to lose his temper over the miscommunication.
  • Sharma claimed he dismissed Yusuf Pathan with his first delivery and that Dhoni continued scolding him even during the celebration.
  • The former India seamer also said Dhoni generally maintains a calm aura and often imparts practical lessons, framing the episode as an exception to his leadership style.
  • Coverage notes Sharma’s long CSK association, his 2023 IPL final over for Gujarat Titans against Ravindra Jadeja, and Rediff reports he was bought by Delhi Capitals in the 2025 auction.
