India lost well-set Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul in quick successions and that is when MS Dhoni combined forces with Manish Pandey and produced a quintessential MSD finish.
Trending
Dhoni upped the ante in the final five overs and brought up an all-important unbeaten stand of 68 from 34 balls with Pandey.
The former India captain went after the loose deliveries and punished them as the duo scored 65 from the last 5 overs to end the innings on a high.
Dhoni, who closed the Indian innings with a six, scored unbeaten 39, while Pandey contributed 32 at the crucial time to take the hosts' total to 180/3 in 20 overs.
The 36-year-old, who is lightning quick behind the stumps, was at his unbelievable best as he completed two stumpings and snapped up two catches to put India on course of a big win.
