Here’s what MS Dhoni said:
“While I was working in Kharagpur, I used to speak Bengali very well. Now if I speak I will commit mistakes. But I can understand Bengali very well. If you speak Bengali around me, I will figure it out easily.”
“Interestingly, once we were playing against Bangladesh and they didn’t know that I understood Bengali. Wicket-Keeper was suggesting the fast bowler to bowl something so I already got to know what he was upto. So once the match ended, they were talking and seeing my reaction to it, they went like – ‘He [Dhoni] understands Bengali.”
