#10 Best Dialogue - MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is not only one of the finest cricketers in the world, he is also one of the wittiest.

During the Test series against New Zealand last year, Dhoni lost his cool after India failed to break the partnership between Brendon McCullum and BJ Watling.

With his premier spinner in the match Ravindra Jadeja not threatening the batsmen, the Ranchi-born cricketer told Jadeja: "Ye ghoomega toh Pujara ko isiliye idhar rakha hai, voh udhar taali bajaane ke liye nahi hai", which translates to “If the ball turns, I've kept Pujara in the slips for catching only, he's not standing there just to clap.”
