New Delhi: MS Dhoni was famous for the calm performance of both on the field and outside, once so angry with a hotel that he decided to go out and move to a separate. The revelation was made in a video interview by his former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team partner Dwayne Smith which has become viral on social media since then.
The video begins with the host, asking Smith to choose between the two IPL franchises he represented – Mumbai Indians or Chennai Super Kings. Smith immediately replied, even before the question was over: “Chennai Super Kings.”
Asked that, Smith explained, “Just the way it is. I also love Mumbai. I was in Chennai due to Vibe. With the boss with Dhoni. With my observation, Dhoni spoke in his head that he needs to understand each player.
Curious, the host then asked, “Have you seen Dhoni angry?”

Do you believe that MS Dhoni is still one of the best finishers in IPL history?
Smith recalled two specific incidents when he saw that usually Dhoni, composed, lost his cool.
“Ashwin dropped a catch. It was a regulation hold. Dhoni dropped him out of the slip and kept him elsewhere. This was the first time I saw him angry.
“The second time when the hotel staff stopped the meal, ordered by Dhoni, for him to reach the hotel. He got angry and went from the hotel to another hotel. I could not miss the hotel name, or even if I do, I will not mention it. He immediately went to another hotel.”
Dhoni is currently a leader in CSK IPL 2025,
Dhoni on Monday created an Vintage Finishing Act, breaking an unbeaten 26 to guide the Chennai Super Kings for a five -wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants.
The victory ended the run of CSK’s five consecutive defeats, in which Dhoni and Shivam Dubey (43*) stitched an unbreakable 57-rorn stand to help chase 167 with three balls at an Akana Stadium.
The injured Ruturaj, a pioneer in place of Gaikwad, 43-year-old Dhoni moved to number 7 and lit the boundaries with a hurry of boundaries and a six-one dazzling 11-gent knock. Master Finisher silenced critics and fans equally, proving that he still got a spark when it matters the most.
For his game-changing cameo, Dhoni was named Player of the Match, who became the oldest player in IPL history to receive the award. In 43 years and 280 days, he crossed the record of Praveen Tambe for a long time.
The oldest player to win the player of the match in the IPL:
43 years, 280 days – MS Dhoni vs LSG, Lucknow, 2025
42 years, 208 days – Praveen Tambe vs KKR, Ahmedabad, 2014
