XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team former captain MS Dhoni is well known for his cool and calm nature on the field and for that reason he had earned the title of ‘Captain cool’ during his career. Though there are some matches where MS Dhoni lost his cool. The Jharkhand maestro made his debut back in 2004 and since that very day he always stayed away from being aggressive and has always remained calm whether he is batting or behind the stumps. Here we will talk about four matches where the fans had seen the ‘Captain Cool’ losing his cool. Dhoni straight went onto the field during IPL match against Rajasthan Royals [caption id="attachment_88547" align="aligncenter" width="600"] MS Dhoni arguing with umpires.[/caption] The incident happened during Match 25 of IPL 2019 between Chennai Super Kings & Rajasthan Royals. MS Dhoni led CSK were given a target of 155 to chase and at a crucial stage they needed 8 runs from 3 deliveries. England's star all-rounder Ben Stokes was bowling that over and on his fourth delivery he bowled a full toss to Mitchell Santner and straight umpire Ulhas Gandhe called it a no-ball. However, once the batsmen picked up a couple, Gandhe withdrew his call. Jadeja, who was at the non-striker's end got into an argument with the umpires but Gandhe and square leg umpire Bruce Oxenford were not ready to change their stance. A visibly miffed Dhoni charged out to the middle from the benches and pointed at Gandhe, claiming that he had called a no-ball before Stokes tried to calm Dhoni down. The the umpier's final decision stood despite of all the efforts from Dhoni after which CSK clinched a thrilling win courtesy of a last ball six from Santner. Michael Hussey called back, Dhoni fumes It was an incident of 2012. India were facing Australia in an ODI when Dhoni lost his cool when Aussie cricketer Micheal Hussy was called back after being given out stumped off Suresh Raina’s bowling. After some deliberation from the TV umpire, Hussey was given out, but even as the southpaw was walking off the field, he was called back by the on-field umpires and this irked the Indian captain who made his stance very clear in front of the umpires. However, the decision stood and Hussey continued batting. Dhoni lost his cool and scolded Deepak Chahar During an IPL match between Chennai Super Kings & Kings XI Punjab, KXIP needed 39 runs in final two overs and Dhoni gave the ball to Chahar. However Chahar put himself under immense pressure as he bowled two back-to-back waist-high no balls which gave the opponent team easy chances to score. The first ball was smacked to the boundary, the next ball was again tapped away for a couple of runs. 8 runs were scored and not even one legal ball was bowled. This is when Dhoni ran up to the bowler and gave him a real earful. Chahar then made up for his poor show post a horrific start and gave away just five more runs in the remaining over and even picked up the wicket of David Miller. India vs Australia in 2019 This was another game where Dhoni was seen in angry mood and that too against his own teammate. This happened during the second ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval. It was a must win game for the Men in Blue and the visitors were chasing a big total as well. In the dying moments of the contest, Dhoni was struggling because of the heat at Adelaide. Khaleel Ahmed came the middle with drinks and nearly walked on the pitch which did not amuse Dhoni. This could have helped the opposition bowlers and as a result, Dhoni was seen angry on Khaleel in front of everyone. Luckily India won the match and tied the series 1-1, with the former India skipper staying not out in yet another run chase.
