“Mahi bhai has many strengths. But calm and cool aren’t one of them. He often uses abusive language on the field, and I’ve heard it firsthand, “ Ishant said while speaking on the TRS Clips Youtube channel.

He further added, “Whether it’s during the IPL or with the Indian team, people are always around him. You’ll find someone or the other sitting with Mahi bhai. It’s like the feeling of being in a village, just missing the trees.”

The Delhi pacer added that MS Dhoni’s rage was unusual. He did, however, recollect a Test match instance in which Dhoni became irritated when Ishant failed to collect the throw properly.
