He said, “People used to say so many times about Mahi bhai (Dhoni), “Why is he taking the match till the 20th over, 50th over? “How many matches has he finished? He is the only one who knows what he is doing. Nobody else knows. He knows and he is winning matches. For me, that is muscle memory.”
“My mindset was different. I used to always think, “Let’s finish the match in the 19th or 49th over.” But if he is alone out there, he will definitely take the match till the last over and put pressure on the other team, making them think that he will just finish it with a six.” he further added.
