The Proteas all-rounder after the match against Mumbai Indians hailed Dhoni for finishing off the game in style. He said:
“Unbelievable. He’s the master at finishing off games and he did it again tonight.”
Pretorius revealed that he planned to play scoop shot against premier Bumrah in the 17th over but Dhoni asked him to hold on and allowed him to go for the scoop shot in Bumrah’s last over. He asserted:
“[On his boundaries off Bumrah] I wanted to go for that scoop shot in the first over against Bumrah, but [Dhoni] said, ‘Wait, wait, wait’. I waited and the next over I said, ‘Now I’m going.’ And he said to go for it. I went for it.”
“We knew we need five boundaries, no dots and we could get over the line tonight. I’m working hard and just glad I could contribute to a win to the team today and hopefully we can win a few more.”
