CSK recently picked a 15-run win over the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans on Tuesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and secured a spot in the Final.
During the match, it was noted that MS Dhoni was in an animated argument with the match umpires during the game. The incident occurred in the 15th over of the second innings, as Matheesha Pathirana, who came in to bowl the over, was deemed ineligible as he had been off the field for a while.
However, as Dhoni engaged in an animated discussion with the umpire, the time limit had passed, and Pathirana was then allowed to bowl the over.
Brad Hogg comments on MS Dhoni
Reflecting upon the same, former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg came forward to opine that the umpires laughing at the incident rather than solving it was not good enough.
“Dhoni using his presence to full effect, luring the umpires into a 4-minute discussion, causing time to run out for Pathirana to bowl after an extended break off the field. Umpires laughing over the incident rather than taking control of the situation is not good enough,” Brad Hogg tweeted.
