One thing that people admire Mahendra Singh Dhoni for is his ‘calm and cool’ demeanour. He seldom loses his cool, but it was different on Wednesday.

In the second T20 International between India and South Africa, viewers witnessed former Indian skipper MS Dhoni losing his cool and using obscene words for batsman Manish Pandey.

The Incident took place at the 20th over of the match when Manish(79) and Dhoni(35) were at the crease. In the video that has gone viral on the internet, the Jharkhand batsman can be heard saying, “Oye. Bh****ke. Idhar dekh le. Udhar kya dekh raha hai. (….Look here. Why are you staring over there).”

Earlier on Wednesday, riding on MS Dhoni and Manish Pandey’s half-century India scored 188 runs for four wickets.

Manish Pandey was the highest scorer for India with an unbeaten 79 runs off just 48 balls.

His power-packed knock, which included six boundaries and three sixes, provided the late impetus to the Indian innings.

Veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni gave him excellent support from the other end, remaining unbeaten on 52 runs off mere 28 balls, hitting four boundaries and three sixes along the way.

Following the target, South Africa rode on some powerful batting by Heinrich Klaasen and Jean-Paul Duminy to defeat India by six wickets in the second T20I.

Chasing a formidable target of 189 runs, the hosts romped home with eight balls to spare. The three-match series is now locked at 1-1.

Klaasen brought up his maiden T20I half-century, producing an awe-inspiring show of power-hitting to plunder 69 runs off just 30 balls.

Duminy remained unbeaten at 64 runs off 40 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.
