It was the 2009 World Twenty20 and the media had received information about an injury to Indian opener Virender Sehwag. When they approached India's skipper MS Dhoni for a statement on the matter, he refused to let out any information and confirmed that they should wait for a press release from the BCCI.

This led to a verbal spat between Dhoni and the journalists and the Indian captain went to the extent of asking if they were blaming him of leaking stories selectively. On being asked about how he could be ignorant about a player's fitness Dhoni responded angrily and said that he is aware of Sehwag's fitness but he will not say a word about it.
