Australian pacer Kane Richardson, who grabbed a five-for felt that the dismissal of Mahendra Singh Dhoni proved to be a turning point as the home team recorded a 25-run win against India, which seemed improbable at one point of time.
Richardson, who scalped 5/68 also felt that Ajinkya Rahane’s injury also became a factor for the visitors.
“It is a quality line-up but a big part of the run-chase was that Ajinkya Rahane wasn’t fit. So we knew that it would come down to Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. They made hundreds and played a hell of an innings. We knew if we could get Virat out, after Dhoni, then the rest are fairly inexperienced players and it would all fall on Ravindra Jadeja. The one over changed the game,” said Richardson. “It’s 100 percent Dhoni’s wicket was the turning point of the match.” he added.
