#3 Dhoni's tactics in the powerplay
Two contrasting tactics were employed by Dhoni during the powerplay overs in both matches and it brought considerable success to his team while raising the eyebrows among cricket experts.
He used just two bowlers in the first six overs with three over spells in the tournament opener against Mumbai Indians. Against KKR he used as many as five bowlers, three of them being spinners.
Fair to say he got it right both the times but strangely underutilised the spinners, despite the pacers getting dispatched to all parts of the ground.
