The former Indian captain who is famously known as captain cool, happened to have lost his cool when Kuldeep Yadav denied when asked to change the field by MS Dhoni.
The Ranchi man always had good coordination with spinners over the years. He has produced many significant moments at crucial junctures of the game in partnership with spinners, be it playing for India or featuring for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina used to be the ones who obliged to MSD’s strategies and game plan without questioning him too much.

The 37 year old seems to do well with the new spin twin as well. He keeps on having a word with the bowler on which lines and lengths to be bowled to batsman with different attributes. But there was one instance when MS Dhoni got very angry over the china man, Kuldeep Yadav.
During Yadav’s over, Dhoni had asked the wrist spinner to make specific changes in the field. In reply, Yadav said he was fine with the current setup. His reply triggered Dhoni and the former India captain yelled at the youngster. He said,”Kya main pagal hoon yaha pe, mai 300 ODI khela hoon (Do you think I’m mad? I’ve played 300 ODIs)”.
Kuldeep Yadav said he managed to get a wicket after the field changes and went on to claim three wickets in the match. Apart from Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal claimed 4 wickets and Rohit Sharma blasted a 35 ball century to help India crush Sri Lanka by 88 runs.
