MS Dhoni's two sides with Deepak Chahar

CSK all-rounder Deepak Chahar recently revealed the angry side of MS Dhoni. Chahar played a crucial part in their IPL-winning campaign after a return from injury.

"I was bowling in the death overs for the very first time. They never made me bowl in the death because it was not needed. There were bowlers like Shardul and Bravo to bowl the death overs. Now Bravo got injured. It was a critical match," said Chahar in a recent episode of Breakfast with Champions.

The Indian bowler says he bowled a couple of beamers on the trot and the CSK skipper reprimanded him.

"He (Dhoni) came to me and said 'you act smart as if you know everything. Why are you bowling in this manner?' I was thinking that my career was over," he added.

And the bowler then also revealed how Dhoni ushered his love on him following a decent aftermath.

"Then I gave 5 runs off the next 5 balls and after the match he hugged me," the pacer said.

Chahar picked up 13 wickets in 10 matches for CSK in IPL 2023. He has an excellent relationship with Dhoni and the CSK captain recently compared him with Drug in an event. Dhoni said he may not ever see Chahar getting mature.

"Deepak Chahar is like a drug, if he is not there, you would think, where is he - if he is around, you would think, why he is here - good part is that he is maturing but he takes time and that is the problem, in my lifetime, I won't see him matured (smiles)," Dhoni said at the launch of Tamil movie LGM on Monday (July 10).
