Even in the most trying circumstances, MS Dhoni is renowned for maintaining his composure and composure on the pitch. He has very rarely been seen losing his composure or becoming furious while playing. However, the CSK captain invaded the ground live during a match between the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2019 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur after a contentious no-ball.
The sixth game in CSK’s campaign, on April 11, 2019, was when this episode occurred. The final over was bowled by Ben Stokes, who is currently a member of the CSK team, as CSK chased 152 to win the game at the SMS Stadium. In order to win the game, CSK required 18 runs in the final six balls.
Jadeja heated things up by scoring 10 runs off the first two balls, but Dhoni was dismissed on the third ball. When the number of balls needed to solve the equation was reduced to eight, Mitchell Santner entered the fray to join Ravindra Jadeja.
In the 4th delivery, Ben Stokes while trying to bowl a slow delivery ended up bowling an above the waist full-toss. To that, the Umpire in the non-striker’s end called it a No ball but his compatriot umpire Bruce Oxenford at Square-leg.

It only required Oxenford to reverse the decision and MS Dhoni was simply not having it. Mostly the square-leg umpire does not have the rights to reverse a decision called by the Straight umpire. That situation turned out to be a trigger point for MS Dhoni who did not waste anytime to enter the pitch to have a word with the umpires.
Following a lengthy conversation with the umpires, MSD had no choice but to go back to dugout as the Umpires stood firm with their decision.
