Jaipur: Chennai Super Kings skipper M.S. Dhoni has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for breaking the Indian Premier League's Code of Conduct in the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Mitchell Santner's last-ball six against Ben Stokes helped MSD reach 100 win mark as a captain in IPL. He became the first captain to have achieved this milestone.
However, in what will be a very special match for CSK skipper a controversy took place in the final over of the thriller. Dhoni, who was clean bowled by a Ben Stokes yorker came back on field few balls later as umpire revoked the no-ball decision. Dhoni was not really happy with the umpiring but eventually, CSK won the match on the last ball.
The IPL said via a statement: "MS Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings captain, was fined 50 per cent of his match fees for breaching the VIVO Indian Premier League's [IPL] Code of Conduct during his team's match against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur.
Mr Dhoni was admitted to the Level 2 offence 2.20 of the IPL's Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction.
The fine takes some of the shine off his performance for the table-topping CSK, with Dhoni having contributed 58 off 43 to his team's winning cause.
Surprisingly, Murali Karthik did not ask MS Dhoni any questions on his outburst during the post-match presentation ceremony.
