MS Dhoni's 5 most recent altercations with journalists

MS Dhoni has not had many altercations with opposition players, but has been on a streak of run-ins with reporters

Jibe without provocation

Before India’s last group match against Australia, Dhoni was uncharacteristically aggressive without provocation with the media contingent that had come to cover the team’s final practice session.

After the team had finished a game of football during the session before commencing on net practice, Dhoni walked up to the reporters and asked them, “Cricket kheloge?” (Would you like to play cricket?)

The reporters did not know how to respond to this and no answer was forthcoming. Then Dhoni fired, “Agar tum khel sakte, toh tum yahan hote aur hum wahan.” (If you could play cricket, you would be on the field while we would be where you are).

Dhoni then walked back to rejoin the rest of his team as his red-faced audience looked this way and that.
