Relishing the rare win away from home, Dhoni said, “It is always good to be on the winning side, the boys were exception in the field, probably the best fielding I have seen. It will be hard to beat this effort. We are a side that relies a lot on a good
start, not about the runs, a good, calm start is what we look for.”
