It is not without a reason that MS Dhoni is known as Mr. Cool. This was once more on view during the third one-day international between India and Sri Lanka at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele as Dhoni took some time off to take a nap on the field.
The match was stopped for nearly half an hour with men in blue still needing eight runs to win the game.
Meanwhile, Dhoni, who was batting with opener Rohit Sharma, took the opportunity to take a quick nap. With no signs of resuming the match coming from the organizers, Dhoni comforted himself with a nice break on the ground.
When the play resumed, Rohit (124 not out) and Dhoni (67 not out) made short shrift of the required eight runs, and Team India chased down Sri Lanka’s target of 218 runs to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
Well, fans on Twitter found Dhoni going off to sleep during the crowd hindrance quite funny and posted some hilarious comments regarding the same.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions:
