MS Dhoni fumes at Dwayne Bravo after dropped catch

Defending the target of 157 runs, Chennai Super Kings displayed a great bowling performance and kept taking wickets at regular intervals to put Mumbai Indians’ batsmen under immense pressure.

During the fag end of the innings when Mumbai Indians needed 42 runs in 15 balls, an incident took place that made CSK skipper MS Dhoni lose his cool and get angry at Dwayne Bravo. It was during the 19th over when Sourabh Tiwari scooped Deepak Chahar but only managed to send it in the high sky.

MS Dhoni ran backwards for the catch while Dwayne Bravo who was at the short fine leg also went to grab the ball but the confusion between the duo only led to the catch being dropped. After the catch was dropped, the CSK skipper was unhappy with his teammate and had some words to say to Bravo.
