George Bailey opens up on MS Dhoni's love for Hookah.

Dhoni's former IPL teammate, ex-Australian cricketer George Bailey, had disclosed that Dhoni used to bond with younger cricketers over hookah.

"He likes smoking a bit of the sheesha or the hookah. So, he quite often would set that up in his room, and it was very much open-door policy. You would often go in and find many younger players there. It can be hierarchical for India or many other cricket teams, but he broke that down," he told Cricket Australia.

"You just find yourself in his room late at night chatting inevitably about the game or different facets of the game or about different people, and with different people, it’s a great way to break down barriers," Bailey, who played for CSK and Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in the IPL, stated.
