MS Dhoni is one of the best when it comes to coming up with a comeback be it for a player or the media. While playing for RPS in the IPL, Dhoni responded to Kevin Pietersen's comment about him being a worse golfer than the Englishman by reminding KP that he was still the Indian's first Test wicket.

The incident in question took place in the second over of the match when Manoj Tiwari was mic'd while fielding at first slip. Pietersen, who is a commentator this season, asked the Indian to tell MS Dhoni that he was a worse golfer than him. While Tiwari smiled at the comment he told KP that he would do it after a ball. 

Following the delivery that resulted in a dot ball, Tiwary walked up to Dhoni and told him, "Bhaiya, Kevin Pietersen bol raha hai ki woh app se better golfer hai," which is loosely translated as, " Kevin Pietersen is saying that he is a better golfer than you."

While Dhoni couldn’t help but smile, he came up with the perfect response. "He is still my first Test wicket," Dhoni quipped. 

During India's tour of England in 2011, Dhoni had decided to bowl a few balls to disrupt the English partnership. On the third ball, he went up for an appeal after the ball had been caught by Dravid following some noise when the ball passed the bat. Billy Bowden sided with Dhoni but the review saw the decision being overturned.

Dhoni's response will definitely ensure that no one tries to mess with him when he is in the zone on the field.
