Dhoni's Epic Take Down Of Darren Gough After Former English Pacer Take A Jibe At His Bike

India's ODI and T20 captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni loves his toys. Be it super cars or super bikes. And, dare anyone demean them. Not just Dhoni's passion but his knowledge about his rides is impeccable. Discussing his penchant for bikes with his twitter followers, Dhoni put up a question...

The Suzuki Shogun, a bike renowned for its supreme pick up was launched way back in 1994, had a massive recall value as Dhoni is a great fan of this 2-stroke engine bike. What he didn't expect was former England pacer Darren Gough would reply back by flaunting his new Ducati.

Dhoni and Gough were recently seen as teammates during a charity game for the British Army, in which their side Help for Heroes XI beat the Rest of the World XI in a T20 game at the Kia Oval in London.

Sure Goughie's Ducati is nice and now Dhoni's followers were anticipating a fitting reply from Dhoni and that he did, with aplomb, showing off his Confederate Hellcat x132!

Dhoni rode his bike at Greater Noida's Buddh International Circuit in 2013 after playing the final Test against Australia at Delhi. Seeing Dhoni's mean machine, Gough soon closed the issue by deeming the 'contest' a close one.

@msdhoni haha It's a close one ! My @DucatiUK v your Harley

Dhoni's fans would sure want to remind Gough that isn't an Harley Davidson. It's a Confederate Hellcat. Only 150 units of the American bike were built and is more exclusive than Gough's Diavel.

On Friday, October 2, Dhoni will once again be seen at the helm, returning to international cricket after a break of three months and all eyes will be on him as India take on South Africa in the first of the three T20Is at Dharamsala.
