The bowlers showed a lot of character to defend 200. Sanga and Thirimanne batted really well, but we lost momentum after that. Had we played till the end, we could have pushed it to 230-240 and that would have been enough. Herath bowled really well to bring us back into the game. But Dhoni is always a dangerous batsman. We played a good tournament throughout. Though we didn&#8217;t win the title, the players showed a lot of character.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-15586\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonihitsthewinningrun.jpg\" alt=\"dhonihitsthewinningrun\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonihitsthewinningrun.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dhonihitsthewinningrun-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>Port of Spain: Captain Cool MS Dhoni once again steered India to a title win as he smashed 16 runs off the lasts over to give India a win over Sri Lanka in the tri-series final here on Thursday.
