There have been many instances where funny conversations between players have been recorded, moments like MS Dhoni’s tips from behind the wickets and Rohit Sharma’s cheeky one-liners, all thanks to this little stump mic. In this listicle, we are going to see 5 most talked-about stump mic moments from IPL that have been recorded.
Five hilarious stump mic moments in IPL
‘Ab mai hindi bhi nahi bol sakta‘
This incident took place during a match between CSK and RCB IPL match in 2021. Dhoni made a hilarious comment when RCB batter Harshal Patel came onto the crease. Before Harshal, AB de Villiers and Kyle Jamieson were steering the game for RCB.
At that time, Dhoni was constantly giving tips to CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in hindi. However, when de Villiers departed and Harshal Patel came to bat, as he is familiar with the Indian language, Dhoni cheekily said to Jadeja, ‘Ab Hindi mein bhi nahi bol sakta’
He steal my first test wicket!
In 2017, Dhoni played for the Rising Pune Supergiants in the IPL, where Manoj Tiwary, his teammate at the time, can be heard telling Dhoni, ‘Pietersen is saying that he is a better golfer than you.’ To which Dhoni replies, ‘He’s still my first Test wicket.’
However, there was a bit of confusion regarding whether Dhoni said ‘still’ or ‘steal.’ Many people believe that Dhoni was mentioning that Kevin Pietersen was his first Test wicket, which is not true. Dhoni had indeed dismissed Pietersen, almost, during a Test match in England in 2011. However, Pietersen took a review, and the on-field umpire’s decision of out was reversed.
“Shabas DK, World Cup khelna hain abhi”
This incident is as fresh as a newly baked pizza. It took place in the ongoing IPL 2024, during the group stage match between RCB and MI. RCB’s star batter, Dinesh Karthik, came to bat and was smashing MI bowlers in the death overs.
In this scenario, MI’s former leader, Rohit Sharma, came into the picture. He was standing at slip at that time when he came closer to Dinesh Karthik and said, ‘Shabash DK, World Cup khelna hai abhi.’ Rohit was heard referring to the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the USA and West Indies.
Aree door bola tha! ft.Rishabh Pant
Delhi Capitals’ southpaw, Rishabh Pant, is undoubtedly one of the best batters India has produced. But he is not just popular because of his batting skills, his cheeky humor make him one of the best entertainers as well. The match against KKR in 2021 was the best example of how funny Pant is.
Playing for KKR, when Dinesh Karthik came to bat and smashed a four off the ball of Axar. DC skipper Rishabh Pant, who was keeping the wickets that time. He said to Axar Patel, ‘Arey door rakhne bola tha, woh jhadu marne ko tyaar hai’. He was telling Axar to keep the ball away from the batter as much as possible because they were already prepared to play the sweep shot.
Rukja saans to lene de!
Virat Kohli is by far the best on-field entertainer to date. He never stops making runs or making funny comments that are enough to make us laugh. There have been many incidents in the IPL where everyone witnessed his sense of humor. In the ongoing IPL, when Royal Challengers Bengaluru played against Punjab Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Kohli made a cheeky comment while batting. The incident occurred in the 13th over when RCB needed 74 runs from the last 8 overs with Kohli and Glenn Maxwell at the crease.
As Brar rushed through his bowling crease quickly, Kohli, standing on the other end, was caught saying, ‘Ruk jaa usko, saans to lene de’ (let him breathe), and that was caught on the stump mic.
