Out or not out … Missed the umpire on MS Dhoni’s review? Mahi created a ruckus on the wicket – MS Dhoni LBW Against Sunil Narine wasted review in csk vs kkr match ipl 2025
No answer to Sunil Naren
Dhoni dodged off Sunil Naren and was out LBW. The umpire dismissed, but Dhoni took a review. He was also called out in the review. Disappointed with this, Dhoni had to return to the pavilion. KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane took the right decision by giving the ball to Naren. Naren has already dismissed Dhoni several times in T20. Dhoni has been made the captain of CSK after Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured. Dhoni has given CSK five IPL and two Champions League titles, but today the CSK day was completely bad under his captaincy.
MS Dhoni came to ninth number
Dhoni made the audience wait a long time. He sent Deepak Hooda to bat first. He came to bat at number 9. Sunil Naren dismissed him. Naren bowled a fast off-spin ball. Dhoni could not understand the ball and LBW was out. There was no doubt in giving out the umpire Chris Ghaffi. Dhoni immediately took a review. He showed the umpire a bat as soon as he appealed to Naren.
When the reply was shown, there was a lighter sound on the ultraraes. The ball was close to the bat. But the third umpire took time and decided that there was a gap between the ball and the bat. The third umpire admitted that the ball was not with the bat. Hence Dhoni was called out. Dhoni returned to the pavilion disappointed. When Ghaffeni was asked to stay on his decision, there was silence in Chepock. However, on social media, the fans of CSK are saying that Dhoni was not out and the umpire made a big mistake by giving him out. People believe that Dhoni had the edge of the bat, which the umpire could not understand.
Rahane’s decision was tremendous
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane will have to be given credit. He gave the ball to Naren. Naren has a good record against Dhoni. Naren has dismissed Dhoni three times in T20. In the IPL, he has given only two boundaries in 19 innings. Rahane was seen talking to Moin Ali and Naren before the start of the 16th over. The three together decided that Naren should bowl his entire quota. He wanted to dismiss Dhoni early. His strategy was successful.
MS Dhoni vs Sunil Naren’s figures in T20:

Dhoni was made the captain of CSK after Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured. Gaikwad has fractured in the elbow. But Dhoni’s return as captain for CSK was nothing special.
