Subramaniam Badrinath reveals Dhoni’s frustrated side: “MS just kicked the bottle out of the park”

Because he maintains his composure under duress, MS Dhoni is affectionately known as “Captain Cool.” He was captain of the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League for 14 years and has captained the country for over ten years. The hidden side of Dhoni was exposed by former Indian cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath, who was also an important member of CSK. During a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the veteran mentioned that Dhoni was upset by the unexpected batting collapse.

The players executed some wild pitches to put the team in a losing position. Furthermore, Badrinath said that Anil Kumble’s lap shot caused his dismissal. He said that the wicketkeeper-batter was clearly frustrated and that, in response, he had kicked the water bottle.

“We were chasing about 110 in this match in Chennai against the RCB. We lost wickets quickly, which contributed to our defeat in the game. We just weren’t able to score 110 against the RCB at Chepauk during that particular encounter, according to Badrinath, who was cited by India Today.

Subramaniam Badrinath recollected the occasion in which CSK was down roughly 110 runs

“In my lap against Anil Kumble, I got out to a shot. I acquired LBW for myself. When MS Dhoni entered the changing room, I was standing there watching him walk in. There was a tiny water bottle in front of me, and MS absolutely destroyed it, leaving me in awe. In that dressing room, we were all attempting to avoid making eye contact with him,” he continued.

From the team’s founding, the former captain of India has been a part of it. It wasn’t until 2024 that the 43-year-old chose to resign as captain that the team considered selecting a new captain. The squad failed to make it to the playoffs after Ruturaj Gaikwad, a young player, took over as captain. Nonetheless, the legendary player from India has made a lasting impression on the league by helping the squad win the championship five times.
