IPL 2022 Final Chennai Super Kings have got the tickets. Chennai have reached the finals 10 times in 14 seasons so far. Dhoni showed his experience to all who watched the match to keep the score of 172 runs safe against Gujarat Titans. Dhoni made decisions that were crucial to Chennai’s victory. The best performing team of the season won by all out Gujarat Titans. Meanwhile, Dhoni was seen arguing with the field umpire. The argument was not fleeting, the game was stopped for several minutes and the argument continued.
Now you may be thinking, what friction Dhoni might have had against the umpire? The thing is, Dhoni as a captain was arguing about a rule. It was also natural to argue that Chennai had to get a ticket to the final. In such a situation, it is natural for Dhoni to go into the match with all aspects. Dhoni wanted to attack Pathirana for bowling and was stopped by the umpire. There is a rule behind doing this.
In the 16th over, the argument lasted for 4 minutes
The pair of Rashid Khan and Vijay Shankar were batting from Gujarat. The pair of these two were able to turn the match towards Gujarat. A miss by Chennai could prolong the wait for the final. Dhoni dropped Mathisha Pathirana to bring the 16th over. The umpire stopped Pathirana before bowling. Dhoni went straight to the field umpire to argue as captain. Where he started discussing with the umpire about giving bowling to captain Koole Mathirana.
What is the rule?
It is certain that Dhoni will be ready with all the math in his mind to get Pathirana out for bowling. For this he insisted that the 16th over should be bowled near Pathirana. Pathirana was stopped by the umpire as per a rule. This rule takes Rehwa into the field after the bowler’s break. Before Pathirana came in to bowl, he took a break off the field. It is a rule of cricket that he cannot bowl straight. The umpire stopped him.
The rule says that as much time as the bowler goes off the field after taking a break, the same time must be spent on the field while fielding. Only then can he come on the attack for bowling. That is, as much time Pathirana spent off the field as much time on the field was required to bowl. However, Dhoni spent about four minutes with the umpire. In these four minutes it was time for Pathirana to be present on the field. That means he was now legally fit to bowl. Thus, Dhoni was able to get the 16th over to the bowler according to his calculations according to the rules, even after spending time in discussion with the umpire.
