During the CSK vs. MI match, MS Dhoni’s appeal for a review of Mitchell Santner‘s dismissal stunned both the players and the commentators, showcasing his excellence. Nathan Ellis, a bowler, made his way to the dugout during the game after the umpire had to reverse his decision. His emotion was extremely clear.
There were still moments on the field where Dhoni’s incredible cricketing intelligence was evident, even though his contribution to the game was not shown on the scoreboard. Apart from his lightning-fast stumping, the former captain of CSK continued to play and served as the ideal mentor to new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. He also participated in some crucial decisions made during the game, which the Super Kings ultimately won handily at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
The Santner dismissal, in which Australia spinner Nathan Ellis’s back-of-the-length delivery wrapped Santner on the pads and the umpire signaled it not out, was a prime illustration of Dhoni’s mastery of the DRS.
Ellis immediately turned to face MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
When the bowler and captain were not sure, Dhoni asked Gaikwad to assess the situation. It turned out that the ball was not only pitching in line, but it also collided with the middle stump, causing the umpire to reverse his decision. All of the players and pundits were taken aback, but Ellis’ astonished and thrilled response was what really made the review stand out.
However, Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s knocks were sufficient to get the team across the finish line. Vignesh Puthur’s spell had kept the game close and given MI a chance. Noor Ahmad was named Player of the Match because he made it difficult for any of the opposing hitters to get going and finished with numbers of 4/18. and made it tough for any of the opposition batters to get going.
