SportsKhel: MS Dhoni lost his temper on Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana for not following fielding instructions in CSK’s victory over Gujarat Titans. Chennai Super Kings acting captain MS Dhoni was seen losing their temper on Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana in the team’s final league phase game against Gujarat Titans on Sunday, 25 May, as they were not listening to their instructions while setting the field. Dhoni was disappointed just before Ravindra Jadeja’s over, as the commentators revealed that Pathirana and Dubey who did not listen to his orders.

But once they were set, Shah Rukh Khan was caught by Pathirana on the short third man on the next ball, while Sai Sudarshan dismissed Dubey at a backward point. Titans have 18 points after the entire set of 14 league games and despite the decline in net run rate after this big defeat they still top the table. To maintain its position in the top two, Gujarat now needs Royal Challengers Bangalore (17 points) against Lucknow Super Giants in their final league game. This is important because either Mumbai Indians (16) or Punjab Kings (17 points) will overtake Gujarat with a win-to-face match.

Returning to the game, once asked to chase a difficult target of 231 runs, Titans lost in form in power play captain Shubman Gill, Jose Butler and Sherfen Rutherford, while the board had just 35 runs on the board. Gujarat’s team was reduced to 147 runs in the final over. Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj damaged the wickets of Gill and Rutherford. The new player Sudarshan (41, 28 balls) and his Tamil Nadu team partner Shah Rukh (19), who were in the Indian Test team, created some interest in the team by adding 55 runs for the fourth wicket.
