#2 Spinners against the likes of Narine and Lynn

Knowing the trend of this attacking opening pair, Dhoni made sure that they don't let them tee off in the first six overs.
In order to so, Captain Cool brought on the spinners in the second over itself with an experienced campaigner in Harbhajan Singh leading the charge.
Turbanator didn't disappoint his captain as he got rid of the dangerous looking Narine in his first over, giving first blow to the visitors.
The man behind the stumps was yet again effective in his planning as he introduced Ravindra Jadeja from the same end in the fourth over.
Jadeja, one of Dhoni's most trusted spinner, dismissed Lynn, who was going all guns blazing before he was sent packing in the ultimate powerplay over.
