NEW DELHI: MS Dhoni<\/a>‘s DRS calls are usually spot on, but in a rare moment of controversy, the CSK skipper was given out in a decision that left fans stunned and furious. The incident occurred in the 16th over of Chennai Super Kings<\/a>‘ innings against Kolkata Knight Riders, when Dhoni was adjudged LBW off Sunil Narine<\/a>‘s bowling.
Dhoni immediately opted for a review, convinced there was an inside edge. UltraEdge did show a faint spike as the ball passed the bat, but after a lengthy deliberation, the third umpire ruled that there was no bat involved. With three reds on the ball-tracker, Dhoni was declared out \u2014 much to the disbelief of the Chepauk crowd.<\/p>\n

The home fans were left shell-shocked by the decision. Dhoni, who came out to bat at number nine, could only manage 1 run off 4 balls before walking back in disappointment.
The match turned out to be a nightmare for CSK, who slumped to an eight-wicket defeat \u2014 their third consecutive loss at Chepauk, a first in IPL history. It was also their fifth straight defeat this season, placing them in unfamiliar territory near the bottom of the points table.<\/p>\n

The game marked Dhoni’s return as captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/a> was ruled out of the tournament due to an elbow injury. However, his comeback was marred by a woeful performance with the bat by CSK, who were restricted to just 103\/9 \u2014 their lowest-ever total at home and the third-lowest in their IPL history.<\/p>\n

KKR, in contrast, made light work of the chase. Led by a blazing 44 off 18 balls from Sunil Narine, the visitors reached the target in just 10.1 overs, handing CSK one of their most humbling defeats at home.<\/p>\n
