While the five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings suffered a batting collapse against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 25th match of the IPL 2025, CSK skipper MS Dhoni was out cheaply but in a controversial way, as many cricket fans were confused.
MS Dhoni returned as captain
After KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane chose to bowl first, CSK recorded their third-lowest total and lowest ever home total by scoring only 103/9 in 20 overs. As the regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the tournament due to an elbow injury, MS Dhoni has returned to the leadership role, but has started in a nightmare.

Sunil Narine dismissed MS Dhoni
Battling at 59/2, CSK suddenly found themselves at 79/9 due to losing regular wickets without managing any boundaries for a long time. Skipper MS Dhoni came to bat at no.9 and scored one off four balls before Sunil Narine trapped him for an lbw. While the umpire raised his finger, Dhoni showed his bat and immediately went for a review.
In the review, there was a little but strong enough spike. However, the third umpire didn't feel that the spike was from the inside edge of Dhoni's bat. Denying any inside edge, the third umpire went for the ball-tracking that clarified a clear out for Dhoni as the decision was retained.
