4. India vs South Africa (Indore 2015)
India was facing the might South Africa side in a crucial ODI at Indore. MS Dhoni-led from the front with the bat and took India to a competitive total. Interestingly during the run chase, Dhoni was seen appealing for a caught behind when Farhaan Behardien was the batsman.
The bowler Harbhajan Singh didn’t even appeal for a caught behind but Dhoni was certain that the ball made contact with the bat. Due to that Indian umpire, Vineet Kulkarni raised his finger and gave a horror decision. Behardien was irritated with the decision as his bat was nowhere near the ball.
Interestingly earlier during the T20 series, Kulkarni made a major blunder when he failed to give JP Duminy out LBW when the ball was crashing the middle of middle stump. India ultimately lost the match and a complaint was made by Dhoni against the poor umpiring of Kulkarni.
Well, Kulkarni was intimidated when he saw Dhoni appealing for a catch and without thinking signalled it out in the ODI series.
