Dug in

Rubel to Dhoni, 1 run, dug in short, Dhoni pulls it to backward square leg for a single

It's also a commentary sentence. I wonder what they mean by "dug in" here.

But I'm sure "dug in" describes the movement of the ball.

It's not clear to me what "dug in" refers to, but if you say it's describing the behaviour of the ball then it probably means that the ball "sticks" or "catches" in the earth, as opposed to bouncing cleanly and smoothly.
