Neesh, there are two sides to a coin mate. Your very same picture at the exact moment from another angle. Care to Google about optical illusion maybe? pic.twitter.com/e1NddbXV8A

Anil Kumble after the post match presentation in the @StarSportsIndia dugout said that, If it takes so long to decide it, the benefit of doubt goes to the batsman. Ohh God, that was not out. #MSDhoni #IPL2019Final #CSKvMI #SelectDugout

@JimmyNeesh we’ve seen a run out decision being turned down just because the bail had not come off completely. This scenario remains subjective to the umpires. Needs more definition in the rule book.

“As a team we had a good season. But we need to go back and reflect on how we reached the finals. It’s not one of those years where we played really great cricket to reach here. The middle order wasn’t great, and today it was very funny as to how both teams were only passing on the trophy from one team to the other. Both teams made a lot of mistakes, the team that made one lesser mistake won. I think the bowlers did really well for us, even today it was definitely more than a 150 wicket,” said Dhoni after the loss.
