MS Dhoni's 5 most recent altercations with journalists

MS Dhoni has not had many altercations with opposition players, but has been on a streak of run-ins with reporters

What is your name?

In late February, as the Asia Cup and the World T20 loomed, there were fears that Dhoni could be preparing for a shock announcement of retirement, like he had suddenly stepped down from the Test format in December 2014 midway through a series.

Such questions were posed to him in Delhi and in Kolkata as Team India prepared to depart for Bangladesh to play the Asia Cup.

"You write me a requisition and a letter, asking me tell you 'thank you' and step down,” Dhoni responded.

Dhoni questioned a reporter’s right to be asking the retirement question, saying that he should have some grounds for asking the question that had been asked previously as well.

"If I answer a question one month before or 15 days back, the answer does not change in 15 days, irrespective of where I am answering. The answer remains the same, it is like what is your name.”
