MS Dhoni’s behaviour on the no-ball controversy made everyone surprised but his former teammate Sourav Ganguly has supported him, saying “everyone is human”. The incident happened during the game between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. To bat first, Rajasthan managed to put up 151 on board. Chasing 152, Chennai lost four wickets in quick succession. However, Chennai captain MS Dhoni and Ambati Rayudu steadied the ship with 95 runs. They were needed 18 runs off the final over when Ben Stokes came to bowl.

Ben Stokes dismissed Dhoni in the third delivery and the fourth delivery brought a controversy at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday night. It was a waist-high ball which on-field umpire gave no-ball earlier but leg-umpire declared the delivery as a normal one.
