No one can hold Dhoni’s hand in taking DRS. Mahendra Singh Dhoni proved this once again in the match on Saturday. Dhoni took a review of a wide ball, which he was successful in. In the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Dhoni scored an unbeaten 28 off 9 balls, which included three fours and two sixes.
In the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by eight wickets. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was more talked about than Lucknow’s victory in this match. Dhoni batted stormily and scored an unbeaten 28 off 9 balls with 3 fours and two sixes. Dhoni’s strike rate during this period was 311.11.
During his scintillating innings in this match, Dhoni once again proved that no one can hold his hand in taking DRS. Dhoni took a review for a wide ball during his batting, which was successful. This entire incident happened in the 19th over when CSK’s innings started. Mohsin Khan’s first ball in that over was a wide. Mohsin then bowled the next ball outside the off-stump, but this time the on-field umpire did not give it wide. At that time, Dhoni immediately decided to review. Third umpire Bruce Oxenford, after watching the replay, concluded that the ball was off the line and awarded the ball wide. The replay clearly showed that the ball was well outside the line and Dhoni was then taking guard at middle stump. So Dhoni’s decision was right and the Dhoni Review System became a hit again.
