‘Your age is 32 but body is around 52’ – Ishant Sharma on how MS Dhoni mocks him

Ishant Sharma recently interacted with Deep Dasgupta through an interview for ESPNCricinfo. During the interview, he revealed that his wife as well as MS Dhoni both often pull his leg over his age. Ishant Sharma said that while his age is 31, he is mentally above 32 but his wife, Pratima Singh refers to him as an ‘old man’. Moreover, the veteran pacer said that even his ex-captain MS Dhoni teases him by frequently messaging him in Hindi, which translates into English as ‘What’s up, old man?’.

Ishant Sharma said that whenever he receives such a message from MS Dhoni, he responds that his age is only 32. Apparently, the wicketkeeper-batsman sticks to his humorous side as he responds to the pacer with an even more scathing message. According to Sharma, MS Dhoni then responds with ‘Your age is 32 but your body is around 52, son’.
