IPL 2020: CSK vs SRH: "Fearing MS Dhoni's rage, umpire Paul Reiffel changed his decision", say Twitterati - myKhel

MS Dhoni is known as captain cool but in one of the IPL games last year, he became angry and which forced the on-field umpire Paul Riefell to overturn his initial decision. 

Led by Shane Watson’s 38-ball 42 and a blazing 25* off just 10 deliveries by Ravindra Jadeja, Chennai Super Kings scored 167. In response, the SRH batsmen baring Kane Williamson (57) faltered to score the runs. 

Meanwhile, in the second ball of the 19th over, Shardul Thakur bowled a delivery that was close to being wide. on-field umpire Paul Reiffel was going to call it wide but overturned his decision seeing an angry MS Dhoni. The CSK skipper was criticised for making a wrong influence on the game. A delivery that went past the wide line was not given as a wide, due to the pressure exerted by the CSK legend.
