New Delhi: Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known across the globe for his ability to remain calm under all situations, and hence building an exception ability to not just deal with opposition's players but also banters from commentators.
Dhoni, in an epic response to Kivin Pietersen's claim of himself being a better golfer, left television viewers awestruck with his answer.
It was Manoj Tiwary at first slip, who was on microphone chatting with Pietersen when the former England captain said: "Manoj just tell MS that I am a better golfer than him."
Manoj was seen duly conveying the message to Dhoni after a delivery. "Pietersen kah raha hain woh aapse accha golfer hain (he is saying he is a better golfer than you)."

Dhoni leaned towards the microphone connected with Manoj and replied with a straight face: "But you are still my only Test wicket!" Pietersen was seen laughing.
For the record, it was in reference to a few overs that Dhoni was forced to bowl his medium pacers during a Test match against England at Lord's back in 2011 after Zaheer Khan hobbled out with a torn hamstring.
Dhoni had Pietersen caught by Rahul Dravid behind the stumps and was guven out by Billy Bowden. To his horror, it was overruled after a referral saw that the batsman didn't edge it. KP went onto score a double hundred as England won the Test match. Dhoni never bowled in Tests again.
Here's the incident Mahi was talking bout during Thursday's IPL match between Rising Pune Supergiant and Mumbai Indians, which the hosts won by 7 wickets.
He has a wicket in One dayers though -- Travis Dowlin of West Indies.
