CHENNAI: Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s uncharacteristic outburst against a controversial umpiring decision led to the Chennai Super Kings captain being fined 50 per cent of his match fee in Thursday night’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Jaipur. “MS Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings captain, was fined 50 per cent of his match fees for breaching the Indian Premier League’s Code of Conduct during his team’s match against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur,” the league said in a statement. “MS was after some clarity and it didn’t seem to be coming so he took the opportunity to go out and discuss it with the umpires. “Obviously tensions are running high in the IPL, every run counts and it was a big moment in the game,” the Englishman said. “But whether stepping on to the pitch is right, no, probably not.”Former England captain Michael Vaughan was more outspoken in his criticism of Dhoni.
