It would have been rare for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to be seen in anger. He remains calm even in adverse circumstances. That’s why he is called Captain Cool. However, there have been many such incidents when Dhoni has lost his temper.
Something similar was seen on Saturday during the last league match of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023 when Dhoni got entangled with the umpire over one thing. Its video is going viral on social media. What happened was that Dhoni reached the umpire in the middle of the match and started arguing with him.
MS Dhoni Agrued With Umpire Over Ball
This whole incident of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s argument with the field umpire happened after the 14th over of Delhi Capitals’ innings. At this time, Delhi had taken a strategic time out. During this, Dhoni looked unhappy about the shape of the ball and demanded the umpire change the ball. The umpire changed the ball after listening to Dhoni. But, he was disappointed with the second ball the umpire handed Dhoni.
There was a debate between Dhoni and field umpire Chris Gaffaney regarding this matter. Its video has come to the fore; looking at Dhoni, it can be guessed that he was angry even after changing the ball. He was showing both the balls to the umpire. The second ball handed over to Dhoni by the umpire looked like new.
At the same time, Dhoni was looking for a bit of old ball. Because 14 overs had already been played in the match. Earlier, Dhoni also clashed with the umpire during the middle match. This happened in 2019 in the match against Rajasthan Royals, when Dhoni got entangled with the umpire over a no-ball.
