XtraTime Web Desk: Chennai Super Kings Captain MS Dhoni on Thursday set a bad example by walking into the field challenging a no ball decision by the on field umpires during the Indian Premier League clash against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur. It was an unconventional sight to see Dhoni walking in the middle from the dugout even when the match was in progress. The controversial incident took place involving a no ball decision during the fourth ball of the last over bowled by Rajasthan Royals Ben Stokes. The on field umpire Ulhas Gandhe indicated a no ball but the leg umpire Bruce Oxenford said he never signaled for it, creating confusion in the middle. MS Dhoni was seen walking inside the ground from dugout as Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner started questioning the on-field umpires. The CSK captain started arguing with the umpires over the decision. Both on field umpires, however, denied it and eventually signaled it as a legitimate delivery. TV replays though showed the ball appearing to be above the waist of Santner. There was more drama unfolding as Santner, requiring three runs to drive his team home, hit a six off the last ball. The win consolidates Chennai Super Kings position at the top of the points table with 10 points from 6 games. The Yellow Army will next meet Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on April 14.
