MS Dhoni has said India's 126-run victory in Hyderabad was an important one as their losing-streak had lasted a bit too long and they needed to start enjoying the game again. India had not managed a single international win on their recent tour of England, and had lost all four Tests and three ODIs.
"It's important to win games," Dhoni said after the match in Hyderabad. "If you're not winning games, you don't enjoy playing cricket and our losing streak was a bit too long. We actually played quite well during the ODIs in England and our batsmen got us the runs. But the rain there made it hard for our spinners to grip the wet ball and the seamers too were easy to score of since the ball would come on to the bat better after it rained. Tonight there was no dew and our bowlers showed that they can win us games if the conditions are in their favour."
Many of the tracks that India won the ODIs in England were paid by Dhoni himself, and added that the way in Hyderabad, scoring his fourth half-century in as many rounds as one day. He said his sleeve to 87 from 70 balls which was calculated to throw some shots to the side that has not played since the remodeling of your game to be a stabilizing influence on the average order of 6.
Dhoni on Friday began its manga gradually reach five of the 18 balls before he reached his first term. Then run next to, hitting eight of his ten cats there, including a couple of lofts through extra-cover.
"Usually I do not assess the level of performance but yes, this is an inning innings important to me," he said. "When I started to beat the number 6, I had renewed my game, but this innings was a very calculated. It was not easy to rotate the strike in the middle overs, especially when Graeme Swann was bowling. It 'was important just to get across the stage.
"I've tried a lot of air attacks that normally do not play today. Practical hit in the coverage area and felt it was a good game to try this and it worked well."
After rounds Dhoni helped India reach 300, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin caused a collapse in England. While welcoming bowlers, Dhoni also took into account the dew may play a role in the series, and said the lack of dew Hyderabad Friday was a great help to the bowlers, who could not exclude that Rocio had other places is the reason for choosing the right combination and make the right decision in the draw would be difficult.
"The timing of this series is wrong. It was in April-May, would not be a guarantee not to be baptized, and most of the wickets would turn a lot, and fast bowlers too could use the slower that to be effective . But now, it is the beginning of winter, so it is difficult to predict whether baptized or not.
"Last night [Thursday] There was a lot of fog here, but today was not there. If we played in November or December we blindly the first field that the ball would be difficult to capture in the evening. But now, it is difficult and some decisions can go wrong. In addition, we will probably have to stick with two spinners and three Quicks, because if there is dew so it will be difficult to maneuver three spinners. "
