"MS Dhoni Cried That Night": Harbhajan Singh Shares Unheard Tale Involving CSK Skipper

But, Dhoni's former India and Chennai Super Kings teammate Harbhajan Singh has now revealed that there was one occasion when Dhoni even cried while being surrounded by his CSK teammates.

In a video shared by Star Sports, Harbhajan revealed that the episode took place in 2018 when CSK were making their comeback in the IPL, having been suspended for two seasons over their alleged involvement in the IPL betting scandal.
