When MS Dhoni cried delivering an emotional speech on CSK's return; watch video

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is someone who doesn’t let his emotions control him in any way. Dhoni is known for not letting out his emotion while playing the game and he is very good at it. In a rare display of emotion, MS Dhoni choked and was almost in tears while delivering a speech on Chennai Super Kings’ return in the Indian Premier League last year.

Dhoni was speaking at an event to mark Chennai Super Kings' return in the Indian Premier League after a gap of two years.

“As I said it was, I knew I would play for the Pune team but the actual moment comes when you start walking with the team-sheet in your hand till that point of time its only practice and everything. It was a very emotional moment…since I have started playing T20 cricket represented the Indian cricket team, Jharkhand team in few tournaments and CSK for eight years, so it was an emotional moment not to see myself in yellow,” Dhoni said at the event.

Seeing his skipper get emotional, teammate Suresh Raina quickly offered him a drink. MS Dhoni has played for Chennai Super Kings since the start of the Indian Premier League in 2008. Chennai was banned for two years from 2015 to 2017 over the infamous match-fixing scandal.

Under Dhoni’s captaincy, Chennai won the IPL last year and reached final this year only to lose against Mumbai Indians. Dhoni has previously helped Chennai won the title twice and finished runners-up in five editions.
