MS Dhoni returned as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain after 683 days, which ended on a controversial note. During the match against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, CSK captain Dhoni was adjudged LBW by the third umpire. The wicket incident happened during the third ball of the 16th over. Sunil Narine bowled a fullish off-break on off stump. Dhoni shuffled across and missed the flick. The ball hits the pad. One field umpire raised his finger, and Dhoni challenged the decision. In replays, there were murmurs on UltraEdge when the ball was next to the bat. However, the third umpire felt there was no bat involved, and the third umpire signalled it out. Dhoni departed after scoring one run. The controversial decision led to a massive discussion on social media, with several fans not liking the decision.
