Former Indian cricketer MS Dhoni is popularly known by the nickname 'captain cool' as he always remains calm on the field even during tense situation, like a rock in stormy winds. However, On March 31, 2016, the world got to witness an angry and a bit witty side of the legendary wicket-keeper batsman.
Dhoni stole headlines for his sarcasm-laden jibe when an Australian scribe Samuel Ferris questioned him about his retirement plans. Dhoni invited the Cricket Australia reporter to sit alongside him on the dais when he asked him if he was going to announce retirement after team India got knocked out by West Indies in the World T20.
Dhoni asked whether the journalist wanted him to hang his boots. When the then Indian captain did not get a satisfactory answer, he asked whether he was fit enough to continue till the 2019 World Cup.
