Despite suffering a narrow six-run loss to Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians skipper Harbhajan Singh today appreciated the efforts of his boys and said he was proud of his team for putting up a fight in their Champions League Twenty20 match.
‘We bowled well after the first ten overs. Treat to watch Pollard and Karthik. Great fight shown. A kind of pitch you can hit shots off good length balls. Proud of the boys. Whenever we play CSK it's always a good game,’ he said. His CSK counterpart, MS Dhoni felt they were around 15 runs short but he praised Ben Hilfenhaus [2/14] and Ravindra Jadeja [2/47] for their effort. ‘It was important to guide Jadeja. Matches like these really groom a cricketer. Hilfenhaus was right on the money.We took the gamble of giving the later overs to the spinners. We could have got another 15 runs. 170 plus two runs makes a difference," Dhoni said.
