MS Dhoni loses cool as Shivam Dube ignores instructions, but CSK instantly rewarded with a breakthrough moment.

New Delhi: Chennai Super Kings ended their IPL 2025 campaign on a high with a massive 83-run win over Gujarat Titans on Sunday. After electing to bat first in the match, the five-time champions posted a mammoth 230 in 20 overs, with Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis scoring half-centuries.

After this, GT could not even get close to the target and were bundled out for 147 runs. Despite dominating the match, there was a moment when CSK captain MS Dhoni got angry at his teammate. Let's know what is the whole matter?

Why did MS Dhoni get angry with Shivam-Pathirana?

Actually, this incident happened in the 10th over of the innings, where Gujarat scored 18 runs in Shivam Dubey's over. The pair of Sai Sudarshan and Shahrukh Khan were making a great partnership and fours were being hit continuously on the field. As soon as the over was over, MS Dhoni looked disappointed as no one was following his advice and instructions. Dhoni was particularly upset with Mathisha Pathirana and Shivam Dubey.

When Ravindra Jadeja came to bowl the 11th over, this time Dhoni made some changes in the field and his strategy worked immediately. On the very first ball of the over, Jadeja trapped Shahrukh in his trap, who played a shot and got caught by Pathirana at short third man.

What did MS Dhoni say after the match?

After the match, MS Dhoni said,

"It's good. I wouldn't say it was housefull today, but there was a decent crowd. It's a very big stadium. We haven't had a good season, but it was good to finish with a win. It was one of those great performances in the bowling and batting department. We didn't catch very well, but it was a game where our fielding and catching were good."

He further added, "It (whether he will play next season) depends. I have 4-5 months to decide, there is no hurry to decide what needs to be done. Every year it takes 15% more effort to keep the body fit. You have to give your best, this is top level cricket. This is professional cricket. It is not always the performance that you can count on."
