Gavaskar Slams MS Dhoni For ‘Unacceptable’ Act Of Chatting With Umpires Over Pathirana

//

MS Dhoni is undoubtedly a legendary captain and he has once again proved it by taking his IPL team Chennai Super Kings in the finals of the tournament for the tenth time. He has been superb in his captaincy throughout the IPL 2023 and in the first qualifier against Gujarat Titans, his on-field decisions turned out absolutely correct but there was one instance which annoyed cricket fans a little.

Before the 15th over of the GT innings, MS Dhoni was seen having some discussion with the on-field umpires, while nobody was clear about the topic of discussion, some pointed out that it was a deliberate attempt by the Captain Cool to waste time so that Matheesha Pathirana could bowl his second over.

Matheesha Pathirana wasn’t allowed to bowl by the umpires because he wasn’t on the ground for the same time as he was away from the ground and MS Dhoni who is a smart skipper wasted around four minutes so that Pathirana could bowl the over.

This move was not liked by many including the former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar who said during the commentary that the decision of the umpires should be accepted even if they are wrong in high-pressure matches.

Twitterati reacted on this issue and while some slammed the CSK skipper, there were several others who praised him for his captaincy:

As far as the match is concerned, CSK posted a total of 172/7 on the scoreboard while batting first with the help of Ruturaj Gaikwad’s knock of 60 runs but GT fell short by 15 runs and CSK walked into its tenth finals comfortably.

Will CSK win the IPL 2023? What do you think? Let us know your views.
