Known for speaking his mind out, Virender Sehwag had boldly said that MS Dhoni should have been banned for walking on the field and confronting the umpires during an IPL match in 2019. Dhoni was docked only 50 percent of his match fee for entering the field of play to confront the umpire for backtracking on a no-ball.

“I feel Dhoni was let off easy and should have been banned for at least two [or] three games. Because if he did this, tomorrow another captain can do the same. Then what is the value of an umpire?” Sehwag had told Cricbuzz.

“I feel he should have been banned for a few games by IPL to set an example. He should have stayed outside and instead have talked to the fourth umpire with the walkie-talkie,” Sehwag added.
