"It was a big game for us and Bravo played a special innings in the end. My heart was pounding. We are looking forward to the next game," Dhoni added.
Apart from Bravo, pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 were the standout bowlers for the team, who kept their opponents' run rate to a minimum.
