Controversy Collision with Mahendra Singh Dhoni

During his debut match for Bangladesh against India on 18 June 2015, he was bowling against then-Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni
during the 25th over. After hitting the second delivery of the over, Dhoni ran to take a single when Rahman was looking towards the ball. While running for the run, Dhoni shoved his shoulder into Rahman, which looked like a collision. After this incident, Indian and Bangladeshi fans got into a social media fight and blamed the opposition players for the incident. Later, Dhoni was fined 75% of his match fees while Rahman was fined by 50% for breaching level 2 of ICC's Code of Conduct. check sources
