Former India and Rising Pune Supergiant skipper MS Dhoni is known as 'Captain Cool'. Well, his wife Sakshi Dhoni takes the coolness factor up a notch and should be known as 'Biwi No. 1' henceforth.
Sakshi took to Instagram to take on Harsh Goenka, RPG chairman and brother of Rising Pune Supergiant's owner Sanjiv Goenka, for a series of tweets that put down MSD.
The businessman sparked controversy with his tweet after <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/hardik-pandya-mumbai-indians-rising-pune-supergiant-rps-vs-mi-ajinkya-rahane-imran-tahir-ipl-2017-ipl-10-cricket-news/18143168" target="_blank">RPS beat Mumbai Indians at home</a>, suggesting that new captain Steve Smith had completely overshadowed Dhoni.

Cricket lovers across India didn't take kindly to these words and flayed him.
But while the head one of India's largest business groups eventually deleted the tweet, he refused to budge and stuck to his guns. Even after <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ipl-2017-glenn-maxwell-kings-x-punjab-rising-pune-supergiant-indore-kxip-vs-rps-ipl-10-cricket-news/18147185" target="_blank">Kings XI Punjab beat Pune by 6 wickets</a>, he took to Twwiter to showcase how the other batsmen in the team were doing better this season.

Well, Sakshi Dhoni seemed to have had enough and took to social media to stand up for her hubby.
She posted a picture of herself wearing the famous yellow jersey and helmet of Chennai Super Kings, which Dhoni had led for eight editions.
She then posted a quote that said, "When a bird is alive, it eats ants. When the bird is dead, ants eat the bird. Time and circumstances can change at any time. Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today, but remember, time is more powerful than you. One tree makes a million match sticks but only one match is needed to burn a million trees. So be good and do good."
IS SHE SUGGESTING THAT DHONI WAS TREATED BETTER IN CSK?

Sakshi's mantra seems to be that she will be there to take up cudgels for MSD whenever there's a need. Recently, she had expressed her displeasure after the cricketer's Aadhaar details were erroneously made public. She then engaged in a <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ms-dhoni-aadhar-card-details-revealed-on-twitter-wife-sakshi-angry/18118169" target="_blank">war of words with Information and Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And it seems things aren't hunky-dory between RPS and Dhoni since Ajinkya Rahane was chosen as the stand-in captain vs Delhi Daredevils (DD) on Tuesday after Smith was ruled out with an upset stomach.

Former Rising Pune Supergiant skipper MS Dhoni's wife Sakshi has taken on businessman Harsh Goenka for 'insulting' her husband. And she's also donned the CSK jersey to reinforce her point
