Watch: CSK star Daryl Mitchell runs double despite being denied a single by MS Dhoni; the video goes viral
On Wednesday During the IPL 2024 match against the Punjab Kings, the all-rounder of CSK Daryl Mitchell ended up 'completing' two runs despite MS Dhoni denying him a single. On the third ball of the final over, Dhoni slammed a delivery from Arshdeep Singh in the deep cover region, and Mitchell instantly started running. However, Dhoni was not interested in taking the run, and in a hilarious turn of events, Mitchell reached the other end and then ran back to the non-striker's end before the fielder picked up the ball and threw it back.
On the fifth ball of the over, Dhoni made amends as he heaved Arshdeep over deep extra cover for a huge six, but his action faced criticism from fans on social media, with some calling the act ‘selfish’.

Eventually, Dhoni was run-out in the match, losing his wicket for the first time this season as CSK put a total of 162/7 on the board. The Punjab Kings had little trouble chasing down the target, scoring 163 with more than 2 overs to spare.
