11 Iconic On-Field Remarks By ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni That Are Loaded With Wit And Humour

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known for his aggressive batting and his decision-making abilities under pressure on the cricket field. Cricket pundits from all over the world tried to analyse his style of leading the team and failed. Be it giving Joginder Sharma the last over in the WT20 final or coming out to bowl himself, MSD always surprised the viewers by his out-of-the-box thinking that bore fruitful results for India.

What people hardly notice about India’s coolest skipper is that he is also a king of wit and has an impeccable sense of humour. Standing behind the stumps, Dhoni always had something quirky and funny to say to his teammates. Here are some of the best stump-mic recordings that capture the lighter side of Mahi.
