IPL 2022: Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja angry at Shivam Dube during CSK vs GT match
Chennai Super Kings had their noses ahead in the CSK vs GT match having sent half of the Gujarat Titans batting lineup back to the Pavillion. David Miller stood in the way of CSK win as he was the last hope for the Titans to create an upset. Shivam Dube had the chance to dismiss him by taking catch but his poor judgment on the field decided the outcome of the match.
The 17th over of GT innings saw Dwayne Bravo bowling to David Miller. The left hander tried to smash a slower delivery over the boundary ropes only to see the ball go high up towards deep mid-wicket where Dube was placed. The all-rounder didn’t make an effort to catch the ball as it looked like he was obstructed by the floodlight.

David Miller went onto slam an unbeaten 94 off 51 balls as the Titans prevailed and crossed the line in the penultimate ball of the match, clinching the contest by three wickets. Gujarat Titans stand-in skipper Rashid Khan also scored a handy 40 off 21 balls to steer his side home.
