Why Did MS Dhoni Do John Cena’s ‘You Can’t See Me’ Gesture vs LSG

[ad_1]

MS Dhoni and his team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had to share a point each with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) because their match on Sunday got washed out.

MS Dhoni and CSK would feel hard done by the rain gods because when the rain halted the match, CSK had been having a stronghold over the match, having got LSG in a difficult position at 125/7 in 19.2 overs. Even a short 10-over chase, for which their target would have been only 76 runs, would perhaps have seen CSK win the match. But alas, rain didn’t relent and the match had to be called off.

During the LSG innings, there was an interesting incident where MS Dhoni did WWE wrestler John Cena’s famous ‘You Can’t See Me’ gesture by waving his hand and fingers in front of his face.

In the 6th over of Lucknow’s innings, a ball from Maheesh Theekshana ducked under Manan Vohra’s flick shot and hit him on the pads. But he had come across the off-stump very much and umpire Anil Choudhary gave it not out on the field. Theekshana looked straight up to captain and wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for consultation regarding the DRS on his huge lbw appeal.

Dhoni spoke more with his gestures than with his words amid the loud noise in the Ekana stadium, Lucknow. The CSK captain first put a hand to his hear and made a gesture that he didn’t hear any inside edge and then later the ‘You Can’t See Me’ sign, famous of John Cena, to perhaps suggest that he couldn’t see properly whether the impact of the ball with Vohra’s pads was outside the off-stump or not. Dhoni’s antics and unorthodox way of conversing with Theekshana has left the fans chuckling.
