A lot of dot balls came in the middle over. If the ball was coming after stopping and taking a turn, then it is okay. But it was not so here. We had the last pair as batsmen. You can’t be so aggressive at the start of the tournament. Keeping in mind the net run rate, there were many overs left. We could have taken more singles’.

Dhoni further said, ‘I just wait for the bowlers to make some mistakes. The bowler was under a bit of pressure in the last over. You need to back yourself. My strength is to hit straight strokes. There was some dew here, batting became easier after a few overs. We should have done better with the bat. Overall the bowlers did well.
