Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is worshipped all over the world for his tremendous abilities with the bat. Apart from that he also possesses excellent skills behind the stumps which are known to everyone. But in the second match of the 10th season of the Indian Premier league, we all got to see a different side of Mahendra Singh Dhoni which was completely unknown to us.

Dhoni, over the years, has been a calm and light-hearted person on and off the field. On Thursday he left everyone laughing when he dealt with the commentators in a funny way. Kevin Pietersen, who was commentating during the match between Rising Pune Supergiant and the Mumbai Indians, claimed himself to be a better golfer than Dhoni.

On hearing that, the world cup winning captain came up with a fitting reply which brought out the funny side of the 35-year-old. It was Rising Pune Supergiant player Manoj Tiwary who was chatting with Pietersen on the mic when Pietersen asked him to convey the message to Dhoni.

Pietersen said, “Manoj just tell MS that I am a better golfer than him.” Tiwary took no time in delivering the message to Dhoni. “Pietersen kaha raha hain woh aapse acha golfer hain (he is saying he is a better golfer than you).”

Dhoni quickly came up with the witty reply and quoted “He is still my first Test wicket!”. Pietersen could not stop himself from bursting out in laughter listening to Dhoni’s answer.

Back in 2011 at Lord’s, Dhoni tried his hands at bowling when Zaheer khan went off the field with a torn hamstring. Dhoni got the better of Pietersen with a delivery that the batsman edged to Rahul Dravid who was standing behind the stumps. Pietersen was judged out by umpire Billy Bowden only to be overturned later as the referral saw that the batsman did not edge it.

Here’s the video of the delivery by Dhoni which dismissed Pietersen:
