One of the biggest incidents among these was during IPL 2019 when Dhoni entered the field in the middle of the match due to a no ball controversy and started fighting with the umpires. Now former CSK fast bowler Mohit Sharma has spoken on this incident and told what was the atmosphere in the dressing room at that time. Let us tell you, during the 2019 IPL, there was a controversy when the umpire took back the decision after giving a no ball during a match against Rajasthan Royals. In the last over, CSK needed some 8 runs to win. One of Ben Stokes’ balls was above the waist, one umpire gave it a no ball while the other umpire standing at square leg overturned the decision. Mahi got furious and entered the field to fight with the umpire. We were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go – Mohit Sharma said about MS Dhoni Recalling this incident, Mohit Sharma said on the 2 Sloggers podcast, “We were in the dugout, we were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. But he didn’t even look back. He went like this, when it seemed like a lion had entered. He was already angry because he got out at the wrong time. He had just come to the dugout after getting out and the next ball was a no ball and the umpire did not give it.” He further said, “When he returned, he asked me to bring the laptop. Then the video analyst showed him the video and he said, ‘It was a no-ball.’ However, he also regretted going to the field. But the match was so exciting that all this happened in the blink of an eye.”
“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
