Bowling Karega Ya Bowler Change Karein: Dhoni warns Kuldeep for demanding field change—WATCH
Well, this for the second time Kuldeep got a one-liner punch from Dhoni on the field
After almost a year and 8 months, Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped into the captain’s shoes for the 200th time in ODIs on Wednesday. Since he stepped down from his post, he has been guiding the bowlers from behind the stumps. But yesterday he had the complete command of the team which Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav seemed to have forgotten for a while.
The way Dhoni tackled him was witty but yet hilarious.
The incident happened during the 8th over when Kuldeep came into the attack while Mohammad Shahzad, who was hitting almost every bowler brutally, had the strike. Ahead of the very first delivery, Kuldeep demanded a change in the field placement but Dhoni denied. It irked the Chinaman as he kept on persisting for the same.
Dhoni not only turned a blind eye to his request but replied in a cheeky way and said, “Bowling Karega ya bowler change karein?”

Well, this for the second time Kuldeep got a one-liner punch from Dhoni on the field. He had recently recalled an incident when Dhoni lost his cool and got angry during one such conversation during the show “What the Duck”.
Back in 2017, Dhoni asked Yadav to change the field and remove cover and bring point up during an ODI match against Australia. While Kuldeep didn’t agree to it, Dhoni got angry and yelled at him, “Am I mad here who has played 300 matches?”

Kuldeep quietly nodded his head in agreement and after that, he soon got a wicket. Dhoni then walked up to him and said, “That’s what I was talking about.
