As the video of the moment during the match went viral, it quickly became a fodder of memes.

In a dramatic turn of events, Chennai Super Kings won their game against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday with a last-ball six by Mitchell Santner. But the issue that continued to be debated well after the match was how CSK captain MS Dhoni lost his cool and walked out on to the field to protest against an overturned no-ball in the final over.

The CSK skipper walked out of the dugout and onto the field after a no-ball was rescinded in a nail-biting last over. The no-ball call that was revoked by square-leg umpire Bruce Oxenford irked Dhoni. The rare sight of ‘Captain Cool’ losing his temper shocked fans and many said it was a rare moment that will always be remembered.

As Jadeja argued with the umpires for a change in decision, skipper Dhoni walked into the playing area to talk to the umpires and was seen gesticulating and talking animatedly. The umpires, without referring to the third-umpire, concurred that the full-toss would not have been waist-high and left CSK needing six off two. However, Santner hit a last-ball six to seal the game in his side’s favour.
