Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is known as captain cool. Dhoni is rarely seen fighting with the umpires and getting angry with the players. But criticism is coming for the way Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings acted in the match on Tuesday. Dhoni was impatient at one stage.
Actually happened.

In this sequence, Dhoni gave the ball to Matisha Padhirana. But Padhirana left the field for 9 minutes after bowling the first over. He came straight from the dugout and prepared to bowl the 16th over (2nd over in his quota). The umpire did not agree to this. The umpire said that he would give permission to bowl only after being on the field for 9 minutes. There are still three overs to go. Dhoni, who wanted to bowl with him, wasted his time for about 4-5 minutes. With this, Padhrana was on the ground for 9 minutes. Netizens are criticizing that Mahendra Singh Dhoni intentionally stopped for four minutes and bowled too hard.
It is being questioned whether the umpires would have done this if there had been another captain in Dhoni’s place. Netizens are criticizing Dhoni’s behavior as unreasonable.
