Watch Video: MS Dhoni loses temper on water-boy Khaleel Ahmed

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni was regarded as 'Captain Cool' when he used to captain the Indian team in all formats of the game. But he is no longer captain and in India's win in the second ODI vs Australia, he definitely lost his cool.

On a hot Adelaide evening, when India were chasing a steep total and all eyes were on MS Dhoni to win the match for the nation, the former captain lost his temper on Khaleel Ahmed.

Khaleel Ahmed, who was 12th man during the match, ran out with water bottles for MS Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik during the drinks break.

MS Dhoni saw Khaleel Ahmed running right on to the pitch wearing pointed spikes, which would hamper the pitch and make it difficult to bat on.

With the match at a crucial juncture and India needing to win the match to stay alive in the series, MS Dhoni snapped at Khaleel Ahmed, gesturing towards the young Indian bowler to walk from the other side of the pitch and in turn hurling abuses at Khaleel for his carelessness.

A Twitter user tweeted the video:

MS Dhoni, who had been under fire by cricket experts and fans for his slow innings in the first ODI of the series (51 from 96 balls), which led to India's loss in the match, redeemed himself with a match-winning 55 runs off 54 balls in the second ODI.

Twitter users caught on to the controversy and reacted in various ways:

We seldom see MS Dhoni get angry on the field, but considering the match situation and the pressure on Dhoni to win the match for India, we will give him the benefit of doubt this time.
