MS Dhoni has always been known for his calmness and temperament on the field. All humans err, so did the great man. It was the 25th match of the 2019 IPL between Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings at Jaipur. RR batted first and posted 151 runs. Chasing this, CSK were in deep trouble as they lost four wickets with 24 runs on the board. Dhoni joined Rayudu in the middle and put on a 95-run stand that helped them recover from that position. Bowlers bowled tight spells to take the game to the final over which was bowled by Ben Stokes. Dhoni fell on the third ball of the 20th over with eight runs needed off the last three. Mitchell Santner faced the 4th delivery which was a full-toss for which umpire Ulhas Gandhe signaled no-ball. The drama began now, as he consulted the square leg umpire, Bruce Oxenford regarding his decision. The decision was overturned that led to Dhoni storming into the centre which was followed by an argument between the CSK skipper and the umpires. Dhoni left the pitch fuming as the ball was considered legal.
