Overview

• In an interview published by CricTracker on August 28, Mohit Sharma said MS Dhoni abused him during a Champions League T20 match against KKR after a miscommunication over who would bowl.
• Mohit recounted that Dhoni had called Ishwar Pandey, he misheard the call, began his run-up, and the umpire instructed him to complete the over.
• He said he dismissed Yusuf Pathan with his first delivery yet the captain continued scolding him during the celebration.
• Reports contextualize Mohit’s standing at CSK, noting 20 wickets in 2013, the 2014 Purple Cap with 23 wickets, and 69 wickets across four seasons, with his last stint in 2019.
• Sports outlets including InsideSport, SportsTak, and CricketAddictor amplified the retrospective anecdote, and there is no public response from Dhoni or CSK specific to this account.
