4/5 sixers from him, u r kidding! His strike rate in T20 is just 120. For a person who bats lower middle order, strike rate of 120 is pathetic in T20!
With Yuvraj not in the side Dhoni should have gambled with the Turbanator as that would have given him an extra bowling option. That is why he ran out of bowlers & had to turn to Kohli of all people. This is Harbhajan's home ground for IPL & he would have used the conditions better than Ashwin or Jadeja. This is what happens when one tries to be extra cautious. He should have dumped Raina & taken the Turbanator as Raina is in anycase a poor contributor & probably has played his last T20 for India. Also in hindsight Rahane's 35 ball 40 meant that India were at least 15-20 runs short at the end. His lack of boundary hitting was a serious concern.

Poor Bhajji was reduced to carrying gloves for Kohli when he should have been in the thick of action. Extremely sad for one of our top bowlers to have been reduced to this.
why India dint scored more runs where still seven wickets were intact ? In one day and 20-20 over mach only run counts and not wickets. I can understand fast bowlers in a long run up can bowl no ball but a spinner like Ashwin ? This was nothing but a carelessness and India paid a heavy price for this lapse.The absence of experienced Yuvraj surely had an adverse effect on the team as he is a very good all rounder and capable of breaking good partnership which he has often done in the past.
Dhoni lost bcz 1. He dint use Raina's bowling which is any day better than Kholi. 2. Under used Ashwin. When he could give not so good Pandya and Jadeja full 4 overs, why he dint give at least one more over to Ashwin
Not even an over to raina, repeatively outside off stump short and wide, WI hitting it like a lollipop, is this their bowling plan? Dew factor was their but why bowling outside off wide balls, pathetic performance, harbhajan should have been picked instead of rahane...all blunder.now who watches IPL??flop show.
