The incident occurred when Mitchell, after having sprinted to the striker’s end and back, was denied a run by Dhoni. This decision became a focal point for criticism as Dhoni was then run out shortly afterward, having scored only 14 runs off 11 balls.

His approach against the spinners was also questioned, as his strike rate continued to be a concern throughout the tournament. This marked Dhoni’s first dismissal in IPL 2024, highlighting a rare low point in what has been an illustrious career.

Fan Reactions on Social Media

Fans expressed their disappointment and disapproval of Dhoni’s decision on Twitter. One tweet captured the sentiment, expressing sympathy for Mitchell and criticising Dhoni’s actions as unnecessary.
