Actor Dhanush was last seen in the Balaji Mohan-directed Maari 2, and a song featured in the film, titled Rowdy Baby, went on to one of the most-viewed South Indian songs of all time, crossing the elite 500 million mark. The actor is also an avid cricket fan, and has always been vocal about his love for the sport.
Recently, the actor took to the social media platform to express his opinion on the recent 2019 cricket World Cup match between West Indies and Australia held in Nottingham. The actor had called out the poor umpiring standards of the game. The actor had also felt that the match was biased.
I hope that umpire is happy who dint want West Indies to win at any cost !! #congratsumpire .. well fought windies. Had to be looked into. #icc poor umpiring at its level best. Oh biased as well.

Dhanush is referring to the incident where the Windies star batsman Chris Gayle was wrongly adjudged out twice, which were reversed post the DRS results. The umpires had also ignored Australian paceman Mitchell Starc's no-ball which would have led to a free hit.
Dhanush is currently gearing up for the release of his next film, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, directed by Ken Scott. The film marks the multi-faceted star's international film debut. Apart from that, the actor will also be seen in Vetrimaaran's Asuran, in which Dhanush is paired with top-billed Malayalam heroine Manju Warrier.
