"Stop The Game!' I've Never Screamed Like That In My Life,' Ravi Shastri Says Of Ms Dhoni's Rage Over Football

Former India coach Ravi Shastri agreed before the IPL 2022 match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mumbai, when he was seen playing football, before telling a narrative about how his love for football had made him angry at Dhoni.

MS Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, also enjoys football. He is frequently spotted playing football with his Bollywood buddies in charity matches or friendly encounters, in addition to during practice sessions or before the start of the game.

It happened during an Asia Cup encounter versus Pakistan a few years ago. Five minutes before the toss, Shastri noticed Dhoni skidding through to the dew-kissed outfield and called at him to stop the game.

Ravi Shastri revealed to Star Sports that he has never screamed at anyone so loudly in his life and that he did it to avoid injury concerns for his main player.

‘Stop the game!’ I said something like that: Ravi Shastri

“He really enjoys it. And the intensity with which he plays, you know, it frightens you from the outside. You’re hoping he doesn’t get hurt. There was dew in the Asia Cup final, and I went skidding five minutes before the throw. I’ve never screamed so loudly in my life. ‘Stop the game!’ says Ravi Shastri. I said something along those lines.

In a game versus Pakistan, you don’t want to lose your key player. “However, getting him out and leaving the football is impossible,” he stated.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the defending champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), had their worst ever start to an IPL season, losing four games in a row to fall to the bottom of the standings in the 15th edition of the competition.
