MS Dhoni was much talked about after the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka at Pallekele, but it was not only for his unbeaten fifty runs.
The former Indian skipper who put on a brave partnership with Rohit Sharma to lead the Indian cricket team to victory, was seen taking a nap of sorts when play was halted. As the end was approaching in the third ODI when India were at 210/4 after 44 overs and needing just 8 runs to win, the crowd in the stadium began creating a ruckus by throwing bottled onto the field.
Players were being sent to their respective dressing rooms following the chaos. During the time, Rohit Sharma was batting on 122 runs while MS Dhoni was on 61.
