MS Dhoni’s uncanny ability to decipher the trajectory of deliveries was once again on display during the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). In a crucial moment, Dhoni’s instincts led him to challenge a wide call, resulting in a successful review that overturned the umpire’s decision.
During the 13th over, Tushar Deshpande bowled a delivery that the umpire deemed wide. However, Dhoni, positioned behind the stumps, believed the ball was within the line of the stumps. He promptly signaled for a review, and the third umpire confirmed Dhoni’s assessment, overturning the wide call.
Dhoni’s sharp eye and unwavering confidence in his judgment have earned him the moniker “Dhoni Review System” among fans. This incident further cemented his reputation as a master of the Decision Review System (DRS).
Earlier in the match, Dhoni made a brief appearance at the crease, facing just one delivery. He made the most of it, dispatching the ball for a boundary. It was Dhoni’s sixth outing with the bat this season, and he remains unbeaten in all of them. His highest score is 37 not out off 16 balls against the Delhi Capitals.
Despite Dhoni’s contributions, CSK fell short in their pursuit of victory. Lucknow’s Marcus Stoinis played a blistering knock of 124 not out off 63 balls, guiding his team to a six-wicket win with 3 balls to spare.
