MS Dhoni trolled on-air commentator Kevin Pietersen

This was not the first time this incident was brought into the limelight. Dhoni himself had once trolled Pietersen on the same. 

It happened during a match between MS Dhoni’s Rising Pune Supergiant and Mumbai Indians in IPL 2017. Kevin Pietersen was preforming his commentary duties in that match. In between the match, KP requested on mic fielder Manoj Tiwari to give a message to his skipper MS Dhoni. 

Kevin said, “Can you do me a favor? Can you just whisper MS that I’m a better golfer than him.”

Manoj Tiwari passed on this message to Dhoni who further replied to KP in his usual comical self.
