Why did MS Dhoni get angry

Dhoni looked a bit tired and angry against Gujarat. He was seen getting angry at all -rounder Shivam Dubey and Sri Lankan bowler Mathisha Pathirana, who was in the team. Actually, when Dhoni was applying fielding before Ravindra Jadeja’s over, both of them were not listening to him.

The commentators said that Dubey and Shivam did not hear their orders. When the fielding started, on the next ball, there was a catch towards Pathirana standing on the short third man, and he grabbed it and sent Shahrukh Khan to the pavilion. After this, Dubey dismissed Sai Sudarshan at backward point.
