MS Dhoni was seen engaging in a chat with the umpires as Chennai Super Kings went on to beat Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023 on Tuesday, May 23. The incident happened before the 16th over was bowled, which Dhoni wanted Matheesha Pathirana to deliver after the Sri Lankan had returned to the field. As per the IPL rules, a player who is out of the field for more than eight minutes would need to spend the same amount of time after he returns and would be allowed to bowl only after that. Pathirana had left after the 12th over and Dhoni called him to bowl the 16th. Dhoni then had a chat with the umpires, who informed him about the same rule and after a brief chat, Pathirana was allowed to bowl. See how fans reacted to this.

'Smart'
What M.S. Dhoni did yesterday to halt the game so that pathirana becomes eligible was smart ..
The umpires inaction, the laughter n letting dhoni waste time was bad on their part..
Dhoni utilised his aura perfectly ..even umpires aren't immune to it. pic.twitter.com/GjxYdNRfa4
