The story will not end here! Even after Watson reached the dugout, Pollard said something to Watson. It was not good at all. Rajasthan Royals captain Rahul Dravid then directed Shane Watson to go to the dressing room. This is one of the ugliest exchange of words in the history of IPL

9. MS Dhoni argues with umpires

ms dhoni

This was the 25th match of the season between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Chennai Super Kings won the toss and opted to bowl first.

But in this case the chief umpire signaled a no ball while the leg umpire did not. So it created confusion among everyone.

MS Dhoni would storm out of the dugout in anger and question the umpire's decision. It was not ideal for a captain to do so. The fact that the captain of a side was involved in such an act did not go down well with a certain section of cricket fanatics.

Pollard tried to clear the fence, but the ball went to the long-on region where Suresh Raina took the catch comfortably. Bravo was a happy man and decided to have some fun with the batsman's dismissal. He signaled to Pollard that his mission was over and that it was better to take a flight home.

While Pollard didn't react to the celebration, the farewell didn't go well between cricket fans and Mumbai Indians.
