Original Content: IPL 2024: MS Dhoni Trolled for Denying Single to Daryl Mitchell Against Punjab Kings
In a rare moment of controversy, MS Dhoni faced criticism for his decision-making in the final over of CSK’s innings against PBKS in the most recent IPL 2024 match on Wednesday.
During Arshdeep Singh’s final over, MS Dhoni, known for his finishing prowess, opted to retain the strike despite a clear opportunity to run two with the big-hitter Daryl Mitchell at the other end.
This decision didn’t sit well with the fans, as Mitchell, a renowned power hitter, could have capitalized on the remaining deliveries. The visuals of Mitchell running all the way to the striker’s end only to be sent back by Dhoni looked humiliating.
While Dhoni did manage a six in the penultimate ball, many questioned the logic behind denying the strike to a player like Mitchell, especially considering the final stage of the game.
Furthermore, this incident has also sparked a debate about CSK’s batting order, with Mitchell, a player acquired for a hefty sum, being sent in at No. 8 on a pitch suited to his aggressive style.
Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:
Dhoni has refused a single to Daryl Mitchell. This is an insult to the entire New Zealand cricket team
