The battle of bat and ball often turns into a verbal face-off between two opposition players. There have been instances when players lost their cool and ended up getting offensive with words. The term 'sledging' isn't restricted for opposition only, some players have sledged their teammates as well. Sometimes it turned out to be hilarious, while most of the time the tension increased. 

India saw some of the most gentle cricketers who avoided targetting the opposition verbally. They believed in not getting lost in words by keeping calm. India's MS Dhoni is among the coolest cricketers of all. But as his teammates have observed, the wicket-keeper batsman does lose his cool, although he makes it very hard to notice.

Dhoni's close buddy, and teammate Suresh Raina had revealed one has to look into the ex-India captain's eyes to know how angry he is. The 38-year-old makes sure he doesn't express it in words. But he is also a human, and there are times when the cricketer let it out.

Like always, the veteran cricketer has a different way of letting his anger out. Dhoni uses his wit to pass his message; letting the other person know what he wants.
