The game between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had an unbelievable moment when skipper MS Dhoni hit the stumps but the bails didn't fall. It would have sent back the f well set KXIP batsman KL Rahul.

We have seen the ball hitting the stumps but bails not falling off mostly when a batsman plays it on the wickets with soft hands. But this time it was a well-forced flick from the wicket-keeper Dhoni when Rahul attempted a run off Ravindra Jadeja's delivery.

It was the 13th over of the innings and CSK were in desperate need of wicket after Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan had put up a 50+ runs partnership. Even Dhoni couldn't do but smile as these things are out of hands.

Twitter was bemused what just happened. Some even went on to question the weight of the bail.

Here are the tweets:

How heavy are the zing bails they're using in this IPL? Dhoni flicked that into the stumps with quite a bit of force.

CSK withdrew the appeal as the bails didn't come off!
Otherwise it would have been a wicket as the lights turned on! #Sportsmanship level - Thala Dhoni ????????????????#WhistlePodu #Chennai #PerfectFan #VIVOIPL #CSKvKXIP @ChennaiIPL @Vivo_India

For the second time, the bails have not fallen in Chennai after the stumps have been hit by the ball. Once in favor of Dhoni, once against him. #karma

That's a first, Dhoni misses a review. Hits the stumps the bails don't come off.

Dhoni had his luck vs RR, not vs KXIP.

Not a Dhoni's day.

He missed DRS earlier and now bails didn't come off!

MS Dhoni, the wicket-keeper can never be doubted.

Last match: Dhoni inside edges, ball hits stump, bails stay unmoved

This game: Dhoni hits the stumps, they light up, bails don't care again
