Ex-CSK off-spinner Harbhajan Singh revealed MS Dhoni cried at team dinner when CSK returned to IPL in 2018 after a two-year ban. Harbhajan said, "I've heard the saying 'Men don't cry', but Dhoni cried...that night. He became emotional." Meanwhile, Imran Tahir said, "Looking at him like that, I came to know how close this team is to his heart."
