IPL 2023: Dhoni found cheating? Massive controversy arises from RCB vs CSK match

The incident is related to the 15th over of RCB's batting. Dinesh Karthik, who played an important inning of 28 runs in 14 balls, was batting and Ravindra Jadeja was bowling in this over. 

During the match against Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a narrow eight-run defeat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In front of a huge target of 227 runs, the team captained by Faf du Plessis stood till the end. Around 450 runs were scored in this match. This match was no less than a call for the bowlers. However, during this time, a video of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is becoming quite viral on social media, about which fans are even alleging that Mahi has cheated to win the match.

The incident is related to the 15th over of RCB’s batting. Dinesh Karthik, who played an important inning of 28 runs in 14 balls, was batting and Ravindra Jadeja was bowling in this over. On the 5th ball of the over, MS Dhoni stumped Dinesh Karthik, and the matter reached the third umpire.

During investigation, it was found that Dinesh Karthik’s leg was inside the line. In such a situation it cannot be given out. This is the occasion on which Virat’s fans made serious allegations against Dhoni. Actually, in the haste to stump out, some part of Dhoni’s gloves had come ahead of the wicket. According to the ICC rule, if the wicketkeeper tries to stump out before the ball goes behind the wicket, then it will be called a ‘No-Ball’.

The third umpire only focused on the stump out. Karthik was inside, so he was declared not out. The umpire did not notice Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s gloves. If he had done so, it would have been declared a no-ball and the RCB team would have got an extra run. In such a close match, this extra run and no-ball could prove to be helpful for RCB.
