The 3rd umpire failed to review the fact that air was not allowed to pass between the pad and the bat. MS Dhoni’s controversial dismissal created a storm on social media.
The iconic match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, which is going to be an unlucky match in IPL 2025, will be played at the home ground of Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium tomorrow.
The reason is that the 5-time champion team was restricted to the lowest total of IPL 2025, 103 runs in 120 balls, which showed how weak CSK was yesterday.
In the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings 2025 match held in Chennai on Friday, MS Dhoni came out to bat for 8 before sending Jadeja and Ashwin to the field, but Mahendra Singh Dhoni was out for just 1 run.
During CSK’s batting, Sunil Narine bowled the 16th over, whose googly ball hit Dhoni’s pad, but the clear UltraAge technology showed that a small spike was seen when the ball was passing in front of the bat, but the on-field umpire raised his finger and gave it out.
The experienced Dhoni took a review to the third umpire, but the third umpire upheld the decision of the current umpire, which has caused a huge storm on social media and criticism is being directed at the umpire team.

what your take….???#CSKvsKKR pic.twitter.com/wqjJHwjYEt
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and decided to bowl. Spinner Sunil Narine took 3 wickets for 13 runs while Harshit Rana and Varun Chakraborty took 2 wickets each. Nothing went well for CSK, batting or bowling. CSK managed to score 9 for 4,6 in the entire match.
