Turns out, ‘Captain cool’ MS Dhoni might not be that cool after all as fans saw a side of him they have never seen before at the India vs South Africa match on Wednesday.
Unhappy with partner Manish Pandey for poor running between the wickets, Dhoni shouted and apparently abused him as well.
India is on a tour to South Africa and have had a fairly decent outing. The team lost the Test series but bounced back in the ODIs to clinch the series 5-1.
India also won the first T20 of the 3-match series but lost the match on Wednesday despite a great partnership between Manish and Dhoni.
It was the last over of India’s innings and Manish Pandey and Dhoni were on the crease. Manish hit a shot towards mid-wicket and ran for a single. Dhoni, who was looking for a double was clearly angry and apparently said, “Oye! Bho*&I$# Idhar dekh le. Udhar kya dekh raha hai?”

Now, Manish might have taken the scolding in a sporting manner, but Twitter was in no mood to spare Dhoni.
But Dhoni’s ardent fans are in denial.
Well, I think we should cut him some slack.
