MS Dhoni Gets Angry At Shivam Dube, Matheesha Pathirana; Video Goes Viral
Last Updated:
MS Dhoni lost his cool at Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana for not following fielding instructions in CSK's win over Gujarat Titans.
Chennai Super Kings' stand-in skipper MS Dhoni was on Sunday, May 25, seen losing his cool at Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana, as they didn't seem to listen to his instructions while setting the field, in the team's final league stage game against the Gujarat Titans.
It was right before Ravindra Jadeja 's over when Dhoni got frustrated as the commentators revealed that Pathirana and Dube were the ones who didn't listen to his orders.
But once they were set, on the very next delivery, Shahrukh Khan was caught by Pathirana at short third man, while Sai Sudharsan holed out to Dube at backward point. Watch the video here:
Meanwhile, Gujarat's hopes of a top-two finish in the Indian Premier League suffered a huge dent when they went down by 83 runs to Chennai.
The Titans have 18 points after a full set of 14 league games and are still on top of the table despite the Net Run Rate taking a nose dive after this big loss.
It is crucial because either the Mumbai Indians (16) or the Punjab Kings (17 points) will overtake Gujarat with a victory from their face-off.
Cutting back to the game, once asked to chase a stiff 231, the Titans floundered, losing in-form captain Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford in the Power Play passage itself with just 35 runs on the board.
The Gujarat team was bowled out for a paltry 147 in the penultimate over. Pacer Anshul Kamboj did the damage, claiming the wickets of Gill and Rutherford.
Sudharsan (41, 28b), the latest entrant into the India Test team and his Tamil Nadu team-mate Shahrukh (19) added 55 runs for the fourth wicket to infuse some interest into the chase.

'I can't play as an Impact Player': Virat Kohli's powerful statement sparks speculation - was he taking a dig at someone?
Virat Kohli with the IPL trophy. (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Even as Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally lifted their maiden Indian Premier League title in 2025, ending a nearly two-decade-long wait, it was Virat Kohli 's post-match words that sparked conversations far beyond the boundary ropes. Following RCB's six-run win over Punjab Kings in a gripping final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, an emotional Kohli stole the spotlight — not just for the tears, the turf kiss, or his long-awaited hands on the trophy — but for a quote that now has fans wondering: Was Virat Kohli targeting someone? Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While speaking with former Australia opener Matthew Hayden on the field, Kohli was asked about the relentless passion and drive that continues to define his game. His reply, now going viral, was both heartfelt and pointed: Who's that IPL player? 'Well, I have an opportunity to play this game for not many years, so there is an end date to our career as you know. And by the time that I hang up my boots I want to sit at home and say I gave it everything I had. So I look for ways to improve. I can't play as an impact player. I want to field, I want to field 20 overs and make an impact in the field. That's the kind of player I am, I have been.' Poll Do you believe Virat Kohli's comments were directed at other players? Yes, definitely No, just his personal philosophy The comment struck a chord, not just with fans but also within cricketing circles, as Kohli made it clear: playing only as a batter doesn't align with his ethos. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In the era of the 'Impact Player' rule — where several veteran stars and young talents are fielded purely for their batting or bowling — Kohli's declaration felt both personal and philosophical.

"Every Time You Play IPL...": RCB Star's Candid Admission On WTC Final Participation
Josh Hazlewood believes he's in the best rhythm of his career as he targets a return to Australia's Test XI for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa at Lord's. After battling a series of injuries in recent years, the veteran seamer is aiming to fill one of the few remaining gaps in his stellar career. Hazlewood arrived late in the UK, alongside Josh Inglis, after completing a sensational Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he picked up 22 wickets and played a crucial role in their title-winning run. He has slowly eased back into red-ball preparation, bowling around five overs at moderate intensity during Australia's optional training session in Beckenham on Saturday. A more intense workout is planned at Lord's, where he is expected to ramp up to near full pace. If he pulls up well, Hazlewood will likely edge out Scott Boland for a spot in the starting XI. Since returning to the Test setup during the 2023 Ashes, Hazlewood has been in remarkable form, claiming 57 wickets in 13 matches at an average of 19.68. "I was obviously quite close last time (in 2023)," Hazlewood said, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo. "I just had more of an interrupted IPL leading into that, and then had a few little issues going on, so wasn't quite up to scratch, but I feel in a much better place this time around," he added. "And I think in any format, my numbers over the last two years have been pretty good, so have got a lot to fall back on in terms of skill wise. I still feel like I'm bowling probably the best over my career and it's just a matter of the body holding up, which it has been in the last few months," he noted. "I think the intensity is probably a big one for me to tick that box," he said, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo. "We're definitely adapting training to sort of get those back-to-back days in, get a big day, followed by another bowling session the day after and things like that, just to try and try and get our head around it and put ourselves in the best possible position we can be," he noted. Hazlewood is optimistic that the slightly delayed conclusion of the IPL won't hamper his preparation. He remains confident about getting sufficient red-ball training under his belt before the final. "I ticked over some good overs just before the final in Ahmedabad, in different weather than this," he said. "It was quite a tough session. And then every time you play a game in the IPL, you're probably going to get almost seven or eight overs in if you really want and around with warm-ups. I had a number of times where I bowled back-to-back days, again at high intensity, with the game being one of those," he noted. One tactical adjustment the right-arm seamer is focused on in English conditions is pitching the ball a bit fuller. "In the IPL games, I was probably hitting around that seven-to nine-meters in the powerplay, and not really threatening the stumps as much as you want to in Test cricket, in particular here in England," he said, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo. "So, it'll just be about pushing that length and touch fuller and still getting that zip through the keeper," he added. The Australian quick also underlined the value of having a reliable allrounder in the side, a role shared by Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, and, more recently, Beau Webster. While Green won't be available to bowl until later in the year during the Ashes, and head coach Andrew McDonald hinted that Webster's overs might not be required in the final, Hazlewood remains a firm believer in the balance an allrounder brings. "I think it's huge," he said, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo. "I remember back to when we didn't have it was brutal. It was tough work. I feel like you're just continually bowling, like you're almost following the next guy at the other end, and then you're switching ends. Gazza (Nathan Lyon) is from one end, and we all rotate," he added. "So to have that bowler, (and) even to be honest, Travis (Head) and Marnus (Labuschagne), it only has to be a couple overs here and there just to give you that extra break to then be fresher, whether it be the second new ball or the next day or later on in the series. It just sort of snowballs if you don't have that allrounder and you're just continually bowling," he noted.

Ricky Ponting's Blunt Message To 'Pundits' As BCCI Snub Jasprit Bumrah For Test Captaincy
India have taken the right decision by handing the reins of the Test team to Shubman Gill and now the youngster must given a long rope to prove his credentials, says Ricky Ponting, who is also confident that India can handle the ongoing transition phase better than other countries. India will be without stalwarts Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, who all retired recently, and pacer Mohammed Shami when they begin their five-Test tour of England on June 20. While Kohli and Rohit retired from Tests last month, Ashwin had hung up his boots during the Australia tour last year and Shami was ruled out on fitness grounds for the tour of the Old Blighty. "I actually think it's the right move. I know there's a lot of other people out there, pundits out there saying they can't understand why it wasn't Bumrah and why they have gone to Shubman, but I think it's pretty simple,' Ponting told The ICC Review. "Bumrah's injuries are holding him back a bit in the last couple of years and you don't want that with a captain. You can't have a captain coming in and missing games here and there, so I think it's the right decision." "Now that they've made it, it's one they've got to stick with and give him (Gill) a good crack at it for a long period of time," he said. Ponting said it would be tough to replace players with experience but said India should be able to handle the transitional phase better than any other Test-playing side. "It's always very hard to replace players like that, (given) that have been around for so long that have played that much Test cricket. But if any country can do it and do it quickly, India can, because of the amount of young talent that they have," Ponting said. "I've seen it first hand for 10 years now around the IPL and we've seen the emergence of (Yashasvi) Jaiswal and these sort of guys that have come into international cricket with India and (have) done really well pretty much straight away.' "The skill side of it's one thing to replace and India will replace the skill side of it easily enough, but the experience is the big thing that's going to be missing for them.' He continued, 'Now even with a young captain with Shubman Gill, they'll still have some experience around with KL Rahul and Bumrah and these sort of guys. But if you look at a rebuilding sort of phase, India can cope with it better than most other teams.' Ponting, who coached Punjab Kings to the Indian Premier League final this year, said left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh should be named in the playing XI for the first Test at Headingley. "I would actually have him in their Test team at the start (of the England series). He's very skillful, he has played County cricket, he knows the conditions there and the Dukes Ball will help him in the UK as well,' he said. "To have that point of difference, having a left-armer in your team, will be something that if India don't do it then it'll be a bit of a surprise to me.' "As we know in England the ball still swings (be it) 30, 40 or 50 overs old. To have someone that's got that swing bowling ability and a left-armer, (it) is something that the Indian team should definitely look out for on that tour," he added.
