MS Dhoni recalled a moment when he tricked the Bangladesh team with his Bengali speaking skills

From being a ticket collector to a World Cup winner, it has been a memorable journey for MS Dhoni. The 42-year-old spent a lot of time in West Bengal when he worked as a ticket collector for the Railways at Kharagpur. Dhoni relived the moment when he foiled Bangladesh's plans as they were not aware of his Bengali-speaking prowess.

“When I used to work for Railways in Kharagpur I used to speak Bengali very well. But if I speak now I might not be well versed in the language but I can understand it pretty well. If I heard Bengali around me I could figure it out. I could remember one interesting story. We were playing in Bangladesh. I was batting and they didn't know that I understand Bengali. The wicketkeeper was saying something to the fast bowler and I already got to know what was on his sleeve”. After the match ended they were speaking with each other and then they reacted to Dhoni. “Ae e to bangali bujhte pare (this guy can understand Bengali),” Dhoni recalled while speaking at an event.
