The veteran leg-spinner took to Twitter and opened up the reason. The former Delhi Capitals’ spinner added that the 40-year-old likes to keep his bat clean. MS Dhoni was seen biting his bat in a bid to remove any piece of thread or tape.

“In case you’re wondering why Dhoni often ‘eats’ his bat. He does that to remove tape of the bat as he likes his bat to be clean. You won’t see a single piece of tape or thread coming out of MS’s bat. #CSKvDC #TATAIPL2022,” Mishra tweeted.
