Punish Ajantha Mendis For Bad Deliveries : Dhoni
If india have to beat Sri Lanka in 4th One day then one should attack Mendis. Indians must get on the top of their Sri Lankan nemesis Ajantha Mendis by punishing him for his bad deliveries to bring him under pressure, says Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Dhoni said after winning the match by 33 runs to take 2-1 lead in the five-match series. "It is very important that whenever he bowled a bad bowl we will get runs out of them so that you know he (Mendis) gets under a bit of pressure," he further added
"It is more about him (Mendis). If he bowls a bad ball then punish him and build up pressure on him. If you continue to defend him then you know he will also be on top," Dhoni said.
The Mantra for attacking Mendis is Indian batsmen should go after Mendis because if we attack him from the first ball then he will loose his confidence and we can gain some advantage....by playing defencively he is gaining more confidence...everybody should play there natural game.
