In the match against RCB, Mahendra Singh Dhoni came out to bat in the last over. Dhoni was doing shadow batting practice in the dugout before getting on the field. Dhoni’s full attention was on his drill. He did not pay attention to where he was swinging the bat. Dhoni swung the bat rapidly and it came near to Deepak Chahar’s head who was sitting near him.
Due to this, Deepak Chahar got scared and immediately ran away from his place. However, despite this, Dhoni’s attention did not go towards Deepak.
