Instead of celebrating the narrow 12-run win against Kings XI Punjab last night, Chennai Super Kings' captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was fuming after poor catching nearly cost them the match.
Yuvraj Singh was batting on 19 when he miscued a shot off Muttiah Muralitharan but much to the horror of the Chennai side, Manpreet Gony grassed the catch in the deep. Yuvraj went on to slam an unbeaten 36-ball 58 and even though it was not enough to see his side through, Dhoni didn't mince his words in criticising of the lapse. "It was important to win this match but we were just not upto the mark," an angry Dhoni said after the match.
"We have not stopped dropping catches. There was nothing in the pitch for the spinners and here you spill an opportunity and that too off a batsman like Yuvraj Singh," Dhoni said.
"In all the matches we have lost so far in the tournament, we dropped catches of set batsmen and that is disappointing," Dhoni said.
