WATCH | Miffed MS Dhoni loses cool after Moeen Ali's lazy effort in CSK vs RCB IPL match

During the tense IPL 2023 match between CSK and RCB, there came a moment when 'captain cool' MS Dhoni seemingly lost his calm. As RCB were on track for a record chase, a misfield by Moeen Ali prompted Dhoni to react uncharacteristically. However, the run conceded of the misfield did not cost much as CSK won the match by 8 runs.

Chennai Super Kings captain often remains expressionless on the field but Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not stop from showcasing his discontent after a misfield by Moeen Ali and a laidback follow-up by the English all-rounder allowed Wayne Parnell and Suyash Prabhudesai to complete the run in the crucial stage of the IPL match.

At 15 for 2, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell got together and began to deal in fours and sixes. With their 126-run partnership, the duo was threatening to take the game away from Chennai, but their identical innings- Maxwell (76 off 36) and (62 off 33)- ended in the same way, i.e., a skier landing the gloves of MS Dhoni. The dismissals of set batsmen rattled Bangalore and they ended up falling short by 8 runs. Devon Convey became the player of the match for his 83 off 45.
