“We were slightly short. Another 15-20 runs would have been good. We all know there would be a little bit of dew. Also it was a 7.30pm start so the ball holds on a little early on. Also we could have batted properly in the middle overs as opposed to trying to muscle the ball…..I think it’s important for the youngsters to step in. I think Raj (Hangargekar) has pace and he will get better with time. Think the bowlers will get better, a no-ball is something that’s in your control, so you need to work on that,” mentioned Dhoni on the presentation ceremony.
Playing his first match in nearly a 12 months, Dhoni made unbeaten 14 off 7 balls that included one six and 4 every.
