According to media reports, when Kuldeep Yadav was asked whether he, in any point of time in his career, had questioned Dhoni about his tips, the wrist spinner had responded by saying Dhoni too sometimes goes wrong with his tips because at the end of the day he too is a human being.

"There are a lot of times he (Dhoni) goes wrong but then you can't say that to him," Kuldeep was quoted saying at the sidelines of the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards on Monday.

However, after getting heavily trolled by Dhoni fans for his remarks on social media platforms, Yadav took to Instagram to slam media for creating false news.

Yadav shared a message which read, “Here we go for another made up controversies by our media who loves to make tangy rumours for no reason. Just want to throw some light on the issue that has been proliferated by some people, that the news is totally false. I didn’t give any inappropriate statement about anyone. #Much respect Mahi bhai,”



As per reports, Kuldeep had said Dhoni is someone who puts forward his views in between overs only when he feels it is required.

"Zyada baat nahi karte woh (he doesn't speak much). He speaks only between overs if he thinks he needs to point out something," added Kuldeep.

Dhoni was the skipper of the Indian team that won the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup and then led the side to the ODI World Cup title in 2011.
