The incident happened in the last over of the match after MS Dhoni was bowled out by Ben Stokes. Mitchell Santner came in and faced a slower full-toss above the waist, which the straight umpire ruled as no-ball but later withdrew it after consulting with the third umpire. Dhoni was not happy with the decision and stormed the field to argue with them.
Though, Chennai Super Kings won the match by 4 wickets, MS Dhoni lost his reputation of being calm in every situation. MS Dhoni faced a lot of criticism from former cricketers and his action was a topic of debate everywhere.
