MS Dhoni may not be at his best with the bat every time, but his words are always on point. The Chennai Super Kings captain (CSK) uses his words as a shield on many occasions. We have instances when a question has backfired on the interviewer. Add one more to the list today because we got to witness another savagery from the man.

Ahead of Qualifier 1 in IPL 2019, at the toss which went in CSK's favor, Sanjay Manjrekar asked Dhoni about his team's poor record against Mumbai Indians (MI). As the record says, CSK has won 11, while MI has secured 15 games in the face-off. In the last 7 matches, Chennai could only win one match.

Manjrekar was keen to know if Dhoni gives more respect to MI than any other team, as they have dominated against his team. 

Dhoni, with a plain face, replied, "It will be a mistake if we just respect Mumbai - most of the teams are all dangerous. Mumbai is a very balanced side and they have a squad that can do well in all conditions.

"You try to break down the process into small things. We don't think too much about the playoffs."
