Former India and Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni is widely known for maintaining calmness on the field even in the toughest of situations during matches.

For his composed nature, Dhoni received the tag of 'Captain Cool' as his crucial decisions in tricky situations helped India and CSK get over the line many times.

This trait alongside his tactical brilliance and self-belief has helped Dhoni become one of the greatest leaders of all time.

Notably, Dhoni is the only captain in cricket history to win all three major ICC white-ball trophies - the T20 World Cup (in 2007), the Cricket World Cup (In 2011) and the Champions Trophy (in 2013).

He also led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a record-equalling five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles as well.

Dhoni's former India and ex-CSK teammate Subramaniam Badrinath has revealed an unheard story of the legendary player.

The incident that Badrinath shared featured the rare instance when Dhoni lost his cool during an IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

"He is also a human...he has lost his cool," Badrinath told InsideSport.

"But that has never happened on the field. He would never let the opposition know that he had lost his cool. In this match against RCB in Chennai, we were chasing 110 odd. We lost wickets in a cluster there and we ended up losing the match.

"I got out to a lap shot against Anil Kumble. I was LBW. So, I was standing inside the dressing room, and he was coming inside, where there was a small water bottle. MS just kicked it out of the park. We all just couldn't make eye contact with him," Badrinath added.

Having stepped down from CSK's captaincy last season, Dhoni's future with the franchise remains uncertain with the mega auction for IPL 2025 being a few months away.

Amid the speculations of his retirement, the veteran cricketer has remained tight-lipped about the chances of his participation in IPL 2025.

Dhoni announced his international retirement in 2020, a year after his final appearance for India in the 2019 ODI World Cup.
