MS Dhoni in 2012
Trending
The Indian limited-overs captain is one of the calmest sportsmen around and is known for his sportsmanship. However, Captain Cool also argued with the on-field umpires during an India-Australia ODI match in 2012.
India appealed for a stumping against Australia’s Michael Hussey off Suresh Raina’s bowling which was referred to third umpire Bruce Oxenford by the square-leg umpire. The third umpire first declared Hussey out but as he was walking towards the dough out, on-field umpire Billy Bowden called him back.
Apparently the third umpire pressed the wrong button but quickly made amends by asking the on-field umpire to call back the batsman, who wasn’t out. Hussey was laughing as he made his return to the crease but the Indian skipper wasn’t too amused by all that confusion and had a lengthy chat with the umpires.
It was very much evident by the body language of the 34-year-old wicket-keeper batsman that he was furious with the comedy of errors made by the third umpire. The Ranchi-born cricketer also argued with the on-field umpires about the decision to call the Aussie batsman back.
