Another life lesson for me from RR vs CSK match on 11th April 2019 - IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BE AT PEACE WITH ONESELF
Yesterday we saw something which was not very common for us to see. MSD losing his cool and walking onto the ground to argue with the umpires over a no ball being bowled.
Mind you, his arguement was correct - the umpire had first signalled no ball and then the square leg umpire overruled it. I don't think that's allowed. The fact is that the ball was well above waist height and hence had to be a no ball. However it was very unlike MSD to do what he did.
The question is WHY DID MSD, WHO IS KNOWN FOR HIS COOL HEAD, LOSE HIS COOL?

My analysis is that he was angry with himself for not having been able to close the match himself. The reason for him not being able to do so was that he was thoroughly exhausted.
MSD has always been proud about his fitness (he is still the quickest of them all). However, yesterday we saw the human side of him. Age is catching up - he was seen panting and even had to take a small break during the brilliant innings he played.
His mind did not accept what his body was telling him (as it was against everything he stood for so far) and hence he was mad at himself.
That was the reason he lost control and did what he did.

When a person is with peace with self, he can do wonders, but when that peace is disturbed, he will lose control and do things out of character.
