“You bowled to him with great preparation. Albeit a six was hit without a doubt in Arshdeep’s finished, he likewise bowled well. He (Dhoni) has been not able to score goes against spinners over the most recent couple of years, which is the reason he is cutting himself down the request. He is scoring runs in the last over when the quick bowlers are considering bowling yorkers,” Pathan further said.
