After this spectacular victory, Dhoni said, "It was an important inning. Delhi has a great bowling attack. He used the conditions, so it was not going to be easy for us. Although in the end, it was in our favour.
"I haven't done anything special in this tournament so far. I was batting well in the nets and wasn't thinking too much about my form. Shardul has batted really well in recent times, so he was sent up.
On Robin Uthappa's batting, Dhoni said, "Robin always enjoys batting above all else. Moin is still the number three option. We will decide according to the circumstances who will go up in Uthappa or Moin.
