Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter MS Dhoni refused to run as his partner Daryl Mitchell completed a double (two runs) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on May 1. The incident happened in the last over of the CSK's innings, prompting questions on Dhoni's sportsmanship.
Arshdeep Singh, India's 2024 T20 World Cup-bound pacer, was bowling the last over against Dhoni, who has been fiery in this season in the last six balls. It was third ball of the over which Dhoni toe-ended towards long off. Mitchell immediately ran for a single but MSD refused to run and sent him back. Mitchell somehow managed to reach the crease before the ball arrived. Have a look at the incident below:

The next ball too was a dot before Dhoni hit a six off a low full toss, sending the Chepauk crowd in frenzy once again. He had earlier started the over with a four as well. Watch his two boundaries below as CSK took 13 runs off the over to finish at 162/7 in 2 overs:

Earlier, PBKS won the toss and elected to field first in Chennai. CSK made a decent start as the openers added 64 runs for the first wicket in eight overs. Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar then struck twice in three balls in the ninth over to halt CSK's charge. Brar took wickets of Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube.
Ravindra Jadeja also went back in the next over but skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad stayed on the crease. The CSK skipper hit 62 off 48 balls, his third consecutive fifty-plus score in three innings, as he overtook RCB's Virat Kohli for most runs in the season.
Gaikwad now has 509 runs in 10 innings at an average of 63 and a strike rate of 146 while Kohli has 500 runs in same number of matches.
