Star India pacer Mohit Sharma has shared a rare story of MS Dhoni losing his temper, recalling an incident during the Champions League T20 (CLT20) that left him stunned. Known for his calm and composed demeanor, Dhoni is rarely seen losing his cool—but Mohit experienced a very different side of the former India captain.
Dhoni Loses Cool in CLT20 Match
Speaking to CricTracker, Mohit revealed that during a CLT20 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, a mix-up led to Dhoni’s furious reaction.
“Mahi bhai called Ishwar Pandey to bowl, but I thought he called me. I started my run-up, but he actually wanted Ishwar. Since I had already begun, the umpire said I had to continue bowling,” Mohit said.
He went on to explain that the misunderstanding did not sit well with Dhoni.
“He lost his cool at me and abused me. I still managed to take Yusuf Pathan’s wicket on the first ball, but even while we celebrated, Mahi bhai was still hurling abuses,” he added with a laugh.
Dhoni and Mohit’s Journey Together
Over the years, Mohit Sharma has played alongside Dhoni for both India and Chennai Super Kings. He was part of the Indian squad for the 2015 World Cup and shared many memorable moments with Dhoni in the IPL.
Despite the rare moment of anger, Mohit highlighted Dhoni’s aura of calmness and the respect he commands in the dressing room.

Their association came full circle in the IPL 2023 final, where Mohit—then playing for Gujarat Titans—bowled the decisive last over against his former franchise, Chennai Super Kings. In a twist of fate, Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning runs, sealing the title for CSK against Mohit’s side.
This incident adds another layer to Dhoni’s legacy, showing that even the “Captain Cool” had his fiery moments on the field.
