MS Dhoni returned as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings and the team bounced back to winning ways on Sunday as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 13 runs at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. However, Dhoni looked a lot more animated than ever before in the IPL 2022 game, and at one stage, was left furious with young pacer Mukesh Choudhary, who delivered a wide ball in the final over of SRH's chase. 

It was during the third ball of the final over of the game when Mukesh angled it down towards leg side to Nicholas Pooran and unfortunately dished out a wide delivery. 

It was then that Dhoni was spotted being furious at the bowler, pointing towards the fielders placed on the off side, probably indicating that he should have gone wide of off stump. 

At the end of the game, referring to his discussion with the captain before the start of the final over, "MS Dhoni didn't tell me anything special about that over. He just told me to bowl stump to stump and not try anything fancy."

The youngster did play a key role in CSK's 13-run win as he picked up 4 wickets for 46, although he was hit for 24 runs in the final over.

Well, Dhoni did have some advice for the youngster and for all bowlers in T20 cricket.

"I always told my bowlers, you may get hit for 4 sixes in an over, but the 2 balls that you save-ultimately in a high-scoring game-those are the 2 deliveries that will help you win the game. 

"Because a lot of bowlers, after getting 3-4 sixes, will be like, "Let's get done with it, but that one boundary, or even instead of sixes, if you get hit for 2 fours, that will help you in a game." I don't know if they believe in that theory, but it really works, "he said in the post-match presentation.
