Dhoni is one of the great finishers of the game, says DC coach Ponting

Deccan Chronicle  

Dubai: Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting was awestruck by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's cool demeanour under pressure, describing the legendary Chennai Super Kings skipper as one of the greatest finishers of the game. It was a situation tonight, we were sitting back in the dug-out and thinking, will Jadeja come next, will Dhoni come next and I put up my hand up straight away and said Dhoni will come out now and try ice the game," Ponting said. "Look, I think when he is done and when he's retired, I think he'll definitely be remembered as one of the great finishers the game has ever seen." CSK head coach Stephen Fleming also lavished praise on his skipper, who turned the clock back and played a match-winning cameo in the Qualifier 1, saying it was "emotional" to see Dhoni finish the game.
