India won the match, but what made Dhoni so angry?

It was nothing short of a miracle that India could snatch victory from jaws of defeat against Bangladesh.

India claimed three Bangladesh wickets in the last three balls of the match to deny the opponents- what otherwise looked a well-deserved victory.

Team India had every reason to celebrate. However, Indian captain MS Dhoni, who due to his very calm on-field demeanour has earned the sobriqut of 'Captain Cool', wasn't too impressed with a question a journalist asked him at the post-match press conference.

"
"The plan was to beat Bangladesh with a big margin to boost India's run-rate. But you could barely win the match," the journalist queried.  

Dhoni snapped back at the scribe in an uncharacteristic manner.  

"I know you are not happy that India won the match. Your tone tells it. As far as cricket is concerned, it's not a script. One has to analyse as to what was the reason that we couldn't do well on the pitch after losing the toss. If you can't analyse these things, you shouldn't ask these questions."
