Manoj Tiwary Backs Irfan Pathan's Hookah Claim Against MS Dhoni

Former cricketers Manoj Tiwary and Irfan Pathan have made claims about MS Dhoni's behavior during his playing days.

They allege that Dhoni favored players who prepared hookah for him.

Tiwary mentioned that some players would try to get help from the captain through 'buttering'.

Dhoni, known as a global cricket icon, is still playing in the IPL at 44.

This revelation gives an insight into how the captain might have treated certain teammates and how they reacted.

While not compulsory for everyone, the hookah use was a known aspect for some players.
