Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said later that team had instructed Yusuf to go after the bowling. "He did not have to rotate the strike. Yusuf had to go for the big blows. We know he has the ability."
Chasing 172 was never going to be easy. Dhoni conceded, "The spinners were getting the ball to turn and rotating the strike was quite demanding."
Then, Yusuf did what his skipper told him. He dumped the ball into the stands. There was an astonishing turnaround.

When we needed to score at a rate of more than 12 per over, one does not need to be "instructed" to go for big blows. Rotating the strike can't get you 12 per over. Don't give Dhoni any credit for instructing Yusuf to give big blows, but give Yusuf and Irfan, the credit for having executed their job perfectly!
Dravid, why have you become so inferior. Your approach to cricket has become timid and weak. You are no more confident of what you are doing. Please discuss this with Vishy and seek his advise.
