Can't allow yourself to get hit for 3 sixes in an over: Dhoni
DHARAMSHALA: After Axar Patel was hammered by Man of the Match Jean-Paul Duminy , who hit the left-arm spinner for three sixes in the 16th over, MS Dhoni said it was imperative for bowlers to make a strong comeback after being taken to the cleaners.
“Looking at the conditions it was more of a war of batsmen. At times you have to take pressure off the bowlers, definitely the sides will hit big shots.

Once you get hit, how you come back and bowl the next delivery is important. You can't get hit for three sixes or boundaries in an over. That gives a lot of runs and gives momentum to the opposition batsmen,” Dhoni said.
The skipper, however, defended his choice of bowlers. “If there is dew that puts pressure on spinners. I think our spinners did bowl really well. If you take that one over out, Axar Patel bowled well.It happens in T20s. If a batsman is set, bowlers go for runs.”
