MS Dhoni continues to inspire everyone with his sheer determination and love for the game. Last year when CSK endured their worst possible season, MS had promised that he will return stronger with his team and he has fulfilled his promise. CSK is now looking forward to getting their hands on the fifth IPL trophy.
Dhoni has mesmerized everyone with his cricketing prowess despite being in the twilight of his career. Since Dhoni is believed to be playing his last season in the Indian Premier League, fans have showered him with overwhelming support irrespective of the venue and the city. Dhoni has been keeping his emotions in check, doing exactly what he is known for.
Dhoni is known to keep his emotions under check, however, his former India and CSK teammate Harbhajan Singh has revealed a stand-out occasion when Dhoni let his emotions get the better of him and even shed some tears.
Harbhajan Singh Revealed MS Dhoni’s Rare Meltdown Moment
In a video shared by Star Sports, Harbhajan revealed that the episode took place in 2018 when Chennai was returning back to the Indian Premier League, after having completed a suspension of two seasons over their alleged involvement in the IPL betting scandal.
Former CSK spinner, Imran Tahir also confirmed the incident, adding it was at that point that he realized how close the team was to MS.
Harbhajan said:
“There is a story which I want to share. Back in 2018, when CSK made a comeback to this league after a 2-year ban, there was a team dinner. I 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. Right, Imran (Tahir)?”
Tahir confirmed:
“Yes, of course. 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,”
Further, Tahir even said that it was a proud win for him and the team as they were ruled out by many as ‘too old’. He added:
“We came back after 2 years and won the trophy. And when people give your team the tag of ‘buddhe’ (old men), and even I was in the squad that season, but we won the title. I am very proud of that victory,”
