By doing wonders on the field day in and day out, players earn a name for themselves and later become larger-than-life personalities. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper, MS Dhoni is one such figure as he had almost rightly called every DRS earlier, but on Thursday, everyone could not believe their eyes when the unthinkable happened.
In IPL 2023, fans have been turning up in big numbers at every stadium in numbers to see MS Dhoni potentially for one last time to play cricket. There was no exception in Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium either as the Yellove Army was all over the place when Rajasthan Royals (RR) hosted Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 37 of the ongoing edition.

However, what they saw during the fourth over of the RR innings is not something that they used to see every day. And of course, the incident was around no other than the man himself – MS Dhoni.
It was the third ball of that over which Maheesh Theekshana bowled at a shortish length at stumps. Batting on 31 off 12 balls, Yashasvi Jaiswal attempted a sweep shot, only to miss it completely. Theekshana, as well as Dhoni, appealed for LBW immediately after, but the umpire remained unmoved and did not raise his finger.

When Maheesh Theekshana was about to ask Dhoni to take DRS, the CSK skipper did not even wait for the chat and signaled T, something he usually does whenever he is supremely confident. However, things did not go in favor of him, as the replay showed the ball was pitched outside the leg stump.
Here is the video of the incident:

While Jaiswal was delighted to see the failure of ‘The Dhoni Review System’, the two-time World Cup-winning captain, as well as Theekshana, were shocked to see the outcome.
