Luckily for Dhoni, Indian batting flourished in batting friendly Motera pitch. Yuvraj destroyed Pakistani pace bowling attack and blasted their spin wonder Ajmal for three sixes in an over. Even the seven footer could do nothing.
India won the match on their superior batting line-up. The situation could be totally different on a bowling friendly pitch since Indian bowling is substandard with no true fast bowler or a genuine spinner. Dindas, Asswins, Sharmas, Misras, Ojhas, and Kumars are never going to be able to threaten a decent batting side.
Alarm bells should be ringing at BCCI to find the Indian bowling talent. But I think they are busy with next IPL.

Dhoni's one-point self-belief: Do nothing and let it all happen. If India wins, people like you wil hail him as a "Hero" and if India fails, people like me will bash him up like "Zero".
In my view, changing the batting order will be causing a lot of embarassement to the players effected and it should be resorted as a last resort. Players like suresh raina can not be discounted and should be given enough opportunity to prove his mettle
Yuvi was decent but Hafeez was a master class. He almost single handedly won the match for Pakistan. Yuvi was lucky that his running out Kohli did not play on his mind. On the contrary Hafeez was picture perfect calmness personified. India better watch out for him & Ajmal who is going to be a different kettle of fish once the ODI's begin.

Absolutely, specially when the ball is wet and keeps slipping out of bowler's hands.
Yeah we all know that Mr.Dhoni. Now why do you come ahead of Raina? Raina is 10 times better they you in T20 games. Please don't ruin team India's chances..

It appears from your comments that India lost the match because of Dhoni's early appearance. The fact is to the contrary. Yuvi Raina would have been a left-left combination
