Melbourne, Dec 25:
He stirred up a hornet’s nest by talking about a dressing room unrest but Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni sought to quell the speculation with a dash of humour today, saying that the imaginary stories that came out could be made into a movie by Warner brothers.
“Virat Kohli used a knife and he stabbed Shikhar Dhawan. When he recovered, we pushed him out to bat,” joked Dhoni, when asked if Ravi Shastri indeed had to separate the two batsmen as per reports this past week.
The incident in question was the much talked about backing out from batting on the fourth day of the Brisbane Test by Shikhar Dhawan after being hit on the wrist during a net session.
Dhoni had stated that the last-minute shuffling of the order, which required Kohli go ahead of Dhawan, resulted in some unrest in the dressing room.(PTI)
