Dhoni loses cool in CSK’s last-ball victory

Jaipur, April 11

Mitchell Santner smashed Ben Stokes into the stands off the final delivery to guide Chennai Super Kings to a thrilling four-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL encounter which saw a very public outburst from captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. 

CSK made rough weather of a modest 152-run target before Santner sealed the issue in a dramatic final over. Dhoni scored 58 off 43 and added 95 runs with Ambati Rayudu (57) for the fifth-wicket partnership. 

However, Stokes got him out with a yorker and a clear waist-high no-ball to Santner was ruled out by umpire Ulhas Gandhe after trying to raise his arm. This prompted an angry Dhoni to enter the ground and literally blast Gandhe before square-leg umpire Chris Gaffaney sent him back. — PTI
