Centurion, September 28: Going into a must-win situation, MS Dhoni is likely to play five bowlers against Australia. While Dhoni refufed to divulge details of the final eleven, he hinted a that there might be a couple of changes, while talking to the press.
“It sure gets tough with the batsmen if you play an extra bowler, but then it’s one and the same thing if bowlers go for major runs. It again brings the pressure on batsmen. So in this case the batsmen will have to take the responsibility,” Dhoni said while speaking to the press.
Dhoni, while admitting that the bowlers were short of confidence, said “I would say they are short of confidence. These are talented boys who have bowled well in all conditions. Once they start clicking everything will fall in place.”
Dhoni admitted Yusuf Pathan’s form has been a worrying factor for the team.
“Yusuf has loads of talent and he has been dominating at the domestic and IPL level. But he hasn’t translated it at the international level. That’s a worry,” Dhoni said.
