🚨 Murlidharan: "CSK paid big for Dhoni & me, but got Aussie stars cheap."🚨 Host: "Because of the India-Australia rivalry and the Bhajji vs Symonds?" Murlidharan: Srinivasan had a clear strategy for CSK in the first IPL auction. His priority was to get MS Dhoni at any cost, even $2–3 million, so other teams couldn’t compete. After Dhoni, they targeted me, and CSK managed to sign both of us early. Then, due to the India-Australia rivalry at the time, players like Matthew Hayden and others went for surprisingly low base prices. CSK grabbed them smartly, gaining a huge advantage within the salary cap.

🚨 Ravindra Jadeja: "I became the No. 1 all-rounder because of MS Dhoni."🚨 Ravi Ashwin: "Don’t give credit to MS Dhoni of your hardwork" Ravindra Jadeja: Back in 2014, while we were playing in Australia, MS Dhoni told me that if I could score 30 runs and take 3 wickets, I would be the No. 1 all-rounder. He made me believe that nothing could stop me if I achieved those targets. I carried that mindset throughout my career. Dhoni always kept things simple, made players believe in their strengths, and pushed them to become better.

🚨 Shoaib Akhtar: "I still regret trying to injure MS Dhoni with a beamer."🚨 Host: "Who told you to try to injure MS Dhoni and why did you listen to him?" Shoaib Akhtar: I once made a mistake with MS Dhoni in Faisalabad. I deliberately bowled a beamer at him, and I openly admit it. I was extremely angry and let my emotions take over. Dhoni is genuinely a good human being and a great player whom I truly respect. I felt terrible afterward and kept asking myself why I did it. If a batter is good enough to hit you for sixes, let him. That’s cricket. You compete, you don’t try to hurt someone. If that ball had hit Dhoni, he could have been seriously injured. I still regret it deeply.

🚨 Saurav Ganguly: "MS Dhoni would have never played for India."🚨 Raj Shamani: "Why did you refuse to let MS Dhoni play for Team India?" Saurav Ganguly: Kiran More said that he know MS Dhoni's ability so i went to Jamshedpur to watch MS Dhoni. Saba Karim told me that Dhoni hit the ball very hard. Initially, I thought I would take some time to assess him, but when I finally saw him bat, he looked completely different. He scored 100 in his first match for India at Wankhede, hitting the ball onto the roof. At that moment, I knew we had to fast-track him. If a player is good, you cannot hold him back.

🚨 Ravindra Jadeja: "I had a fight with MS Dhoni before the IPL 2023 final."🚨 Rav Ashwin: "Why you didn't Baahubali celebration for MS Dhoni?" Ravindra Jadeja: The way he hugged me and lifted me was really emotional. A couple of matches earlier, things had been a bit tense between us over field placements. He told me that whatever he asked me to do was for the team’s benefit and to help us win. I strongly believe that he always has my best interests at heart, so I never take our arguments personally. When I reflect on them later, I understand exactly what he meant.

🚨 Umar Akmal: "MS Dhoni was the real king; he saved Virat Kohli’s career"🚨 Host: "Virat Kohli was the best player, how MS Dhoni saved Kohli’s career?" Umar Akmal: MS Dhoni was having dinner with the team when the manager walked in and said, “The chief selector wants to talk.” Dhoni put the call on speaker. The selector said Virat wasn’t performing and wanted to send a new player, so Virat should be sent home. Dhoni didn’t argue or raise his voice. He calmly said, “Alright, book two tickets. Virat goes home, and I’m going home too. I haven’t been home in six months. Raina will lead the team.” The selector immediately backed off: “No, no… Virat will play. No problem at all.

🚨 Yuzi Chahal: "I threw the ball to the wrong end, MS Dhoni got angry."🚨 Raj Shamani: "Who do you have the most fun with, Virat or Rohit?" Yuzi Chahal: The first time I saw Mahi bhai genuinely angry was in a match where I took six wickets. I dismissed Billings, and Joe Root came in to bat. Virat bhai made a brilliant dive to stop a flick and threw the ball to me. I threw it towards Mahi bhai’s end, causing a mix-up. It was only my second T20 series, so I was nervous. Suresh Raina bhai came over and said, “It’s okay, just focus on your bowling.” Rohit and Virat bhai are like brothers to me, and I’ve shared a special bond with Rohit bhai since 2011.

🚨 Rahul Dravid: "You need a little luck to get Travis Head out in the knockouts."🚨 Host: "I think the catch Travis Head took to dismiss Rohit Sharma was a fluke." Rahul Dravid: Travis Head was beaten by Shami and Bumrah several times that day, yet he went on to play a phenomenal innings. Six months later, he was playing an IPL final and edged the very first ball. You can’t help but think, “Why couldn’t you do this six months ago?” But that’s cricket. There are certain things you’re simply not in control of. You can control a lot, but sometimes you just have to accept what happens and move on.

🚨 Mohmmad Siraj: "Virat Kohli surprised me by showing up at my new house."🚨 Host: "When you met Virat Kohli for the first time?" Mohmmad Siraj: After buying my first house, I finally felt like I had achieved something in life. After we won a match, I invited the entire team for dinner. Virat Kohli bhai initially said he couldn’t come because his back was stiff and he had a match the next day. I was disappointed, but told him to rest. When I opened the door, Virat bhai was standing there! I ran and hugged him. It was one of the biggest surprises and best gifts of my life. Soon, the news spread across Hyderabad: “Virat Kohli has come to Toli Chowki!” It became Kohli Chowki.

🚨 Praveen Kumar: "All the senior players used to drink alcohol. Defamed me"🚨 Praveen Kumar: Don’t drink, don’t do this, don’t do that but all the senior players did these things too. But that’s the problem: people get defamed. If you drink alcohol, they say you drink; everyone does it. We were all the same. Senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly always guided us and treated us like kids. But I don’t want to name the person who defamed me on camera. Everyone knows who it was.

🚨 Ambani Rayudu: You play sports to win trophies, not to choke like ABD"🚨 Shubhankar Mishra: "Who is the better captain, Rohit Sharma or MS Dhoni?" Ambanti Rayudu: Winning trophies is something you take pride in because you play sport to win, and trophies stay with you forever. Dhoni and Rohit are both great captains. I played under Rohit when he was younger, but as a captain, he is on a different level. Dhoni understands situations, team environment and culture extremely well, and Rohit does too. Both are very close in terms of captaincy. When Rohit led India to the T20 World Cup, the atmosphere was extraordinary. The final was tense, but Bumrah, Hardik and Suryakumar’s catch turned the game around.

🚨 Mohammad Kaif: "India lost the 2023 WC final due to pitch tampering."🚨 Mohammad Kaif: I was there for three days before the final and saw the pitch change colour. There was no watering or grass, just to make it slow. People may disagree, but that's the truth. The curator was clearly asked to make it slower. Australia had Cummins and Starc, while India had a strong pace attack too. Cummins learned from Chennai that chasing on a slow, dry pitch is easier under lights. India got stuck batting first on a doctored slow pitch. On a normal flat pitch, India would have won.

🚨 Ravindra Jadeja: "Test captaincy is the easiest, just change 2–3 fielders."🚨 Ravi Ashwin: "Do you have leadership aspirations in Test cricket?" Ravindra Jadeja: Yeah. I have played under MS Dhoni’s captaincy in different formats, and I have learned a lot from him. Test cricket is a completely different and simpler beast compared to T20. You usually have only 2–3 fielders to shuffle, depending on the bowler. If the bowler wants the batter to drive through the covers, you set catching positions like gully and cover accordingly. Captaincy is about reading the bowler’s rhythm, choosing the right match-up, managing workloads and making calculated decisions. Unlike T20, Test cricket isn’t as hectic.

🚨 Yuvraj Singh: "No Clarity Until MS Dhoni Picked Up the Phone"🚨 Yuvraj Singh: After everything I had done for Indian cricket, I expected at least some clarity from the NCA, the captain, or the coach, but I got none. I was 36, unsure about my future. Then I spoke to MS Dhoni. He wasn't captain and had nothing to gain, but he gave me honest perspective and respect. That conversation gave me clarity. I was told to retire if I failed the fitness test. I cleared it. After that, selection was their decision, not mine.

🚨 Dwayne Bravo: "MS Dhoni said, 'Don't ever dive on my cricket field again."🚨 Dwayne Bravo: During CSK's first season back in 2018 after the ban, I dived for a ball in the long field. I was 34 then. After the over, MS Dhoni called me and said, "Don't ever dive on my cricket field again. Your four overs are more important than saving four runs." That stayed with me. From then on, I fielded in the circle. That's how Dhoni leads, he knows exactly what you're good at, wants you to focus on your role, and never asks you to be someone you're not.

🚨 Abhishek Sharma: "I scored in the final because I listened to Sanju bhai."🚨 Sanju Samson: "Abhishek was going for 40 runs in the fifth over." Abhishek Sharma: It happened in the semifinal against England. The off-spinner was bowling, and it was the last ball. Sanju bhai said, “Now the runs are coming. Hit this one too.” Instinctively, I knew where he was going to bowl, but I don’t know what happened, the shot didn’t come off the way I wanted. After that, I decided that if Sanju bhai said anything in the final, I would listen to him, no matter what. I played that ball normally in the fifth over, and in the sixth over, we scored.

🚨 Yuvraj Singh: "My cancer tumor was between my lung and heart. Doctors warned I could suffer a heart attack."🚨 Kevin: "Was there a moment where you thought you were going to die?" Yuvraj: Yeah. When something like that hits you, that's the first thought that comes to your head. I wanted to go on the Australia tour because I had just started to cement my place in Test cricket after waiting seven years. I had been the 12th man for 40 Tests. Then the doctors told me I had 3–6 months left and asked me to choose between cricket and treatment. I wanted to play, but the tumor between my lung and heart could cause a heart attack, so I went to the US for treatment.

🚨 Amit Mishra: "Virat Kohli abused our players. Then Gambhir stepped in."🚨 Amit Mishra: It actually started in Bangalore. We won the match in the last over. Gautam Gambhir showed a little aggression by gesturing to the crowd to calm down because they were making too much noise. Virat Kohli probably didn't like that. Later, during our match, Virat started abusing our players. He was saying things to anyone who walked past, including Kyle Mayers and Naveen-ul-Haq, and even after dismissals. I told Naveen, "He's a youngster, let it go." But Naveen replied, "Don't explain it to me, explain it to him." I also said, "You're a much bigger player than him. Why argue?" Great players like Sachin Paaji and Dhoni are respected because they respect junior players and never try to belittle them.

🚨 Cameron Green: "I feel bad for MS Dhoni. He should play more."🚨 Host: Did you get a chance to meet MS Dhoni, almost a god in India? Cameron Green: Yeah. I’ve always felt bad for him. Even after the game, when he’s exhausted, there are still crowds of people waiting to get a few words from him. But that’s just who he is, he genuinely loves helping people. Every year, I feel like it might be his last. Watching him walk out to bat in Chennai is incredible; the way the crowd treats him like a god is something else. I just need him to play one more year so I can go to Chennai.

🚨 Ramandeep: "Rohit Sharma said, “MS Dhoni is batting, let him hit sixes."🚨 Raj Shamani: "What was it like playing under the GOAT captain, Rohit Sharma?" Ramandeep Singh: When you bowl your first ball in the IPL in front of a huge crowd, it’s a completely different scenario. You have no idea what’s going to happen. When Rohit gave me the ball while MS Dhoni was batting, he said, “I want MS Dhoni to hit you.” If Dhoni hit me and got out, we would win the game. That conversation gave me immense freedom and confidence. That’s the quality of a great captain, he makes you feel free and fearless. And yes, Rohit really does have a habit of forgetting things, iPads, passports, and many other things.
