Dhoni's rare fury: Untold story from intense RCB clash
29 May
Summary
- Commentator Tanay Tiwary shared Dhoni's anger post-RCB match.
- Dhoni was visibly upset in the dugout after his dismissal.
- Rare footage shows Dhoni losing his temper on the field.
Star Sports commentator Tanay Tiwary has unveiled an unheard account of MS Dhoni's emotional state during the crucial IPL 2024 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 18, 2024. The match, a virtual knockout for playoff qualification, saw RCB emerge victorious.
Following CSK's defeat and playoff elimination, Dhoni was observed to be deeply disappointed. Tiwary noted that Dhoni felt the match's outcome could have been different had he remained at the crease longer after being dismissed for 25 runs off 13 balls. This led to Dhoni being described as "seething" in the dugout.
Tiwary also recounted a separate, rare incident from a 2025 IPL match where Dhoni openly expressed frustration on the field. This occurred when teammates Mathe Matheesha Pathirana and Shivam Dube did not promptly follow his fielding instructions, leading to an uncharacteristic show of anger.
Notably, MS Dhoni did not participate in the entire IPL 2026 season due to calf and thumb injuries, marking his first absence from a full IPL season.
