Perplexity AI identifies MS Dhoni’s controversial IPL incident
The AI chatbot identified the incident stating “MS Dhoni was referring to the controversial IPL 2019 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). In this game, Dhoni walked onto the field to confront the umpires over a disputed no-ball call during the final over, an unusual moment where he lost his cool and was fined 50% of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.”
During the match, which took place in Jaipur, CSK was chasing a stiff target when a last-over no-ball controversy unfolded. The on-field umpire first signaled a waist-high no-ball but later overturned the decision, leading to an animated reaction from Dhoni. In an unprecedented move, the CSK captain walked onto the field from the dugout to challenge the officials, an action that earned him a 50% fine on his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
