Watch: Angry MS Dhoni gives Axar Patel death stare for poor fielding in Bengaluru
Patel, who was fielding at the third man area, could have done a better job. His slow reaction and even more lethargic return to Dhoni infuriated skipper Virat Kohli and so thus Dhoni.
New Delhi: Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday showed his dark side to team-mate Axar Patel during the Austalia innings of the fourth ODI match in Bengaluru. (LIVE BLOG | SCORECARD)
Australia rode on a brilliant opening stand between David Warner and Aaron Finch to post 334/5 at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Towards the end of the Aussie innings, a good length Mohammed Shami delivery hit Travis Head on the knee, with the ball traveling towards third man. The Aussies stole two leg byes as a result.
Patel, who was fielding at the third man area, could have done a better job. His slow reaction and even more lethargic return to Dhoni infuriated skipper Virat Kohli and so thus Dhoni.
Dhoni then gave Patel a death stare. Here's the video:
Patel, playing his first match of the series, was one of the weak links in the Indian attack. The 23-year-old leaked 66 runs without success from his 10 overs' spell.
India have already taken an unassailable 3-0 in the five-match series. A win today will give Kohli & Co their tenth successive win, a feat no other Indin side had ever recorded.
