But the MI vs CSK IPL 2019 final was not short of some controversial moments -- the biggest being MS Dhoni's game-changing run out. The CSK skipper came into bat with Shane Watson going great guns at the other end but steadily running out of partners. The need of the hour for CSK was what MS Dhoni does best -- bat patiently and chase the total down one run at a time. MS Dhoni made his usual slow start to the innings but after scoring just 2 runs, his stay at the crease was brought to a premature end courtesy a rocket throw from Mumbai Indians' Ishan Kishan. However, what followed next was the nerviest few minutes for both sets of fans. As the on-field umpire signalled for the third umpire, replays started playing on TV screens. Nigel Llong, the third umpire, must have immediately known he had a task on his hands and further viewing of replays from different angles only served to increase the confusion. See for yourself and decide. Was MS Dhoni out or not out? MS Dhoni run-out! Out or Not out? https://t.co/dkrfpPHQ2V via @ipl — Shubham Pandey (@21shubhamPandey) May 13, 2019 While commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, based on one angle, vehemently called for MS Dhoni to be given out, other commentators were not so sure and thought the benefit of the doubt and the inconclusive nature of the replays would see the third umpire rule in the batsman's favour. But it wasn't to be for Chennai and their fans as MS Dhoni was given out as Mumbai Indians sniffed a way back into the game. Promoted After the match many CSK fans took to Twitter to vent their anger at the third umpire's decision even as some defended the dismissal. Again bad decision for run out in @IPL third umpire waits for money to be credited in his account before giving @msdhoni out. This is not @IPL .

Benefits of doubt must be for Batsman. Out was not clear. — Chowkidar # Atul Sharma (@atulsharmagzb) May 13, 2019 The run out decision given to @msdhoni is definitely a controversial one and will be in the fan's minds for some time. Such a poor decision by Nigel Long despite of taking that much time. Benefit of doubt rule is probably forgotten or Opted out. #IPLFinal2019 #CSKvMI — Krish Gopal (@krishgopal86) May 13, 2019 #IPL2019Final #MIvCSK DHONI run-out which was not a run-out even commentators were also saying Congratulations #ambani family for buying another trophy...

Windies all-rounder Kieron Pollard smashed an unbeaten 41 off 25 balls to set up what turned out to be the winning total for Mumbai Indians.<doc-sep>Dhoni was run out in Sunday's final for two, leaving the defending champions in trouble at 82-4. (Photo: BCCI) Hyderabad: Chennai Super Kings skipper M.S. Dhoni suggested his ageing side needs a shake-up after they lost a nail-biting Indian Premier League final to archrivals Mumbai Indians. The thriller saw Mumbai edge out Chennai on Sunday after Australian Shane Watson was run out going for an unlikely second run in the final over to end blistering 59-ball innings at 80. Chennai then needed two runs off the last ball to overtake Mumbai's 149-8. But Sri Lanka paceman Lasith Malinga trapped Shardul Thakur lbw to claim a record fourth title for Mumbai. "We need to go back and reflect as to how we reached the finals. I don't think it was one of those years where we played really good cricket and we got into the finals," said Dhoni. "After the World Cup, once we come back, that's the time we get to the drawing board and see what can be done to fill the gaps. "Nothing against the bowlers, but batting could have been better," said Dhoni, whose team has won three IPL titles from eight finals. None of Chennai's batsmen made it to the top-10 scorer's list in this year's IPL, India's cash-rich domestic Twenty20 showpiece tournament. Dhoni -- 37 but still a key member of India's World Cup squad was Chennai's best with 416 runs, including three fifties. Watson's return to the IPL next season was already uncertain after the 37-year-old bid farewell to Australia's Big Bash early this year. The Australian allrounder and Dhoni are among the 11 members of the 25-man Chennai squad aged over 30. Dhoni was run out in Sunday's final for two, leaving the defending champions in trouble at 82-4. "We committed a lot of mistakes and Mumbai Indians also did the same and at the end of the day the winning team was the one that made one mistake less than the other team," said Dhoni, adding that his immediate focus is on the 50-over World Cup starting later this month in England and Wales. Kieron Pollard smashed an unbeaten 41 off 25 deliveries for Mumbai while paceman Jasprit Bumrah returned figures of 2-14 from his four overs. The Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai were the team to beat this year in the world's most popular T20 league, ending the top of the table after 14 league games. "We played some good cricket. Good to see we qualified in the top two," said Sharma. "Our bowling in this tournament was excellent. At different stages, our bowlers put their hands up and brought us back in the game."<doc-sep>
Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by just one run in a thrilling final of the just concluded edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Sunday’s cliffhanger at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad was not short of controversial moments, the biggest being the run-out of M.S. Dhoni in the 13th over when CSK was trailing by 68 runs. With CSK chasing 150 which was a below par total considering the pitch, Mumbai bowlers turned the game around by picking up the wickets of Faf du Plessis (26), Suresh Raina (8) and Ambati Rayudu (1) in quick succession. Dhoni walked in to bat with the score on 73/3 and the match hanging in balance. Though fingers crossed, the CSK fans were confident the match will turn in their favour, given their ‘Thala’ was on the pitch. However, they were left disappointed as Dhoni was run out on a Hardik Pandya delivery for 2 of 8 balls. READ: Watson batted through bleeding knee, got 6 stitches after: Harbhajan While one of the commentators called for Dhoni to be given out based on one angle, other commentators were not so sure and thought the benefit of the doubt and the inconclusive nature of the replays would see the third umpire rule in the batsman’s favour. Even Sachin Tendulkar, Mumbai Indians mentor, believed that Dhoni’s run-out was the key moment in the game. Mumbai Indians went on to win the game becoming the first team to lift the IPL trophy for the fourth time. Fans though have continued to be divided over the on-field umpire’s decision on Dhoni. While some were not satisfied, others clearly rapped the officials for bad umpiring. Video shared on social media showed fans crying after the dismissal. Many Twitter users are amused and continue to question the decision as they say that Dhoni and run-out are two words that should never come together.They said it was not about supporting CSK or MI but what should be a true gentlemen’s game. “Again bad decision for run out in @IPL third umpire waits for money to be credited in his account before giving @msdhoni out.
