MS Dhoni, famously known as 'Captain Cool' for his composed demeanor on and off the field, surprised many when he was seen shedding tears during an IPL game.

The revelation comes from none other than former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh. Singh disclosed that the usually stoic former Indian skipper let his emotions get the better of him and couldn't hold back his tears.

Here's What Harbhajan Singh Shared:

“There is a story which I want to share. Back in 2018, when CSK made a comeback to this league after a 2-year ban, there was a team dinner. I have heard the saying that ‘Men don’t cry’, but MS Dhoni cried on that night. He became emotional. I think no one knows about this. Right, Imran (Tahir)?”

Tahir emphasised that for Dhoni, the team is like his family, and the deeply emotional moment didn't just affect the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman; it resonated with the entire team, creating a touching experience that brought them all closer together.

“Yes, of course. Even I was there. It was a very emotional moment for him (MS Dhoni). Looking at him like that, I came to know how close this team is to his heart. He considers the team as his family. It was very emotional for all of us,” Tahir disclosed.

On August 15, 2020, Dhoni declared his retirement from international cricket. Presently, he focuses solely on captaining the CSK team in the IPL, contributing to the team's victory five times over 13 seasons.
