Chennai: Will Mahendra Singh Dhoni play in IPL? This question is a big debate. In the first time out yesterday, some of the actions of the star have faced great criticism. Meanwhile, it is alleged that Dhoni’s move was a strategy to bowl the second over with Pathirana.
If a player leaves the field due to injury, that player can bowl only after spending eight minutes on the field. But it has not been followed in case of Patirana. Pathirana bowls first in the 12th over. Later, the player came to the field to bowl the 16th over. But at that time the umpires were of the opinion that the star could not bowl.
Gujarat were 102 for six when Pathirana came to bowl. Pathirana was seen talking to the umpires while Dhoni was setting the field. Pathirana was telling Dhoni to throw after some time. But at that time Dhoni was in a position to bowl Pathirana.
He informed the umpires about this. Ravindra Jadeja, Mahesh Thikshna and Deepak Chahar had completed four overs each by then. At that time only Tusshar Deshpande was left. Then there is Moeen Ali. He did not bowl that day.
Dhoni informed the umpires that he could not bowl with the off-spinner Moeen Ali when two right-handed batsmen were standing. Vijay Shankar and Rashid Khan were at the crease at that time. Due to this, the match was interrupted. Too late to bowl.
Dhoni was also ready to pay the penalty for the low over rate. There was a conversation between Dhoni and the umpires for about four minutes. With this, Pathirana was able to bowl. The player conceded 13 runs in the second over. Pathirana also took the wicket of Vijay Shankar in the third over. Darshan Nalkande also got out in that over.
Dhoni has already been fined for his low over rate. If he gets fined again, the player will not play the final. Not only that, he could face a ban on the grounds that he deliberately tried to delay the match. Bowlers can get it too. But all this comes at the discretion of the umpires. The question for the fans is whether they will face a fine or a ban from the competition.
Sunil Gavaskar and Simon Doll, who were in the commentary at that time, also criticized Dhoni’s action. Dhoni’s action can be banned by the IPL committee on the ground that it is a non-transparent competition. If this incident is repeated, the batting team will get five more runs. But the umpires will take the final decision in this regard.
