Mumbai Indians' innings against Rising Pune Supergiant got underway, the witty Pietersen, on commentary duty, decided to have some fun.
He was speaking to Manoj Tirway, who was wired in and fielding at slip next to Dhoni. Pietersen asked Tiwary to tell Dhoni that he was a better golfer than the former India skipper.
Dhoni was prompt with his reply and Tiwary repeated that word for word on live air: "Tell him (KP), he is still my first Test wicket." (Harsha Bhogle returns to Indian Premier League commentary box)
This conversation happen at the 2 nd over. Harsha Bhogle asking about Manoj Tiwary and KP interrupted and asked this question to MSDHONI via Manoj Tiwary.
That response left everyone in splits but Dhoni remained cool and carried on with his work with a straight face. Dhoni's dry sense of humour is legendary in cricket circles. He has taken hardened journalists by surprise with his quick wit. In fact, the Jharkhand wicketkeeper can often be heard mouthing his trademark one-liners. This is the first time Dhoni is playing the IPL as a regular player.
He was replaced as captain by Steve Smith. Dhoni is the most-capped IPL player in history and led Chennai Super Kings to two triumphs in the 10-year-old tournament.
