this act is completely wrong and unexpected from captain Kool, its look like Mr kool is showing his dadagiri to the umpires and try to pressurise the umpires with his power and popularity he has with the fans one THIS IS WRONG and should have been banned for playing the rest of IPL. Umpires might be wrong some times that dose not mean you can run in the field from Dugout and start protest and being the most senior most player and captain in IPL and as well as Indian TEAM what precedent you are setting to other, think mr. cool. NOT at all expected from DHONI and also IPL board also proved that they can't take strong action against such celebrity players how big may be their mistake is , has it been rahane or kartick or bhuvi or aswin or shreyashe must faced an ban for rest of IPL or at least 2-3 games. MR. Dhoni you are playing in tournament which is live telecasted in all over the world and you have dampen not only your image but also the image of CSK as well as Indian Cricket

Yes, Dhoni's behaviour was no less than any gully childish cricketer who interfere against umpire decision, he should be sued, banned for the rest of ipl and penalized with 100% match fees. if this doesn't happened so there is a wrong message being given to the cricketing world..

Yes , I agree . Dhoni's behaviour was childish and no lesser than street cricket played by kids . He has no business to come on to the cricketing field and show his uncalled angusih and patriotism for CSK . He has brought Indian cricket to direpute .
Umpire Ulhas Gandhe signalled no-ball and it was reversed by umpire Bruce Oxenford standing at square leg. This is the reason for Dhoni to step in to the field to get some clarity

Straight umpire has all rights to consult leg umpire and take his inputs, he can reverse decision in concurrence with leg umpire or third umpire inputs.. get some knowledge before defending Dhoni blindly.

What about the Umpires? Day by day umpiring is becoming poor. Teams lose matches because of it. MSD is known to be mature. If even he loses cool, we need rethink on umpiring. Recently RCB lost match due to poor umpiring. If MSD not above rules, so are umpires.

The issue here is that the stump umpire signalled a no-ball and then went back and that is the point Dhoni was seen pointing out. Umpire needs to explain if he is changing the decision and signal the change accordingly. However, he needs to explain why he changed the same and stand scrutiny for the same in the form of TV replays.
Umpires are at fault of wrong decision, change in decision and not acknowledging the change.
Umpires should be firm, and should help players to play and not gamble, I feel Dhoni just made a point, else he is sensible enough to understand the consequences
