He said taking wickets in the first six overs had also helped his side in winning the match. "We have not taken wickets early on in our earlier matches. But today was different, as we had a few wickets in the first six overs. That has helped us in winning the match," he said.
"I thought it was important to be aggressive on the field and keep up the energy level. Hope we continue this," Dhoni added. When asked about the dew factor while defending 164 for 5, the Chennai captain said, "The dew was an issue; the spinners weren't getting too much turn."
Meanwhile Pune captain, Sourav Ganguly, said that his side lacked some big overs to script a win. "We needed a big over towards the close, from which we could get 20-odd runs. But it did not happen. It was a close finish," he said. "We were in the game but needed an over of 15-20 runs," he said.
On being quizzed if he suffered any injury after falling awkwardly while going for a catch, Ganguly said, "[The] Shoulder is all right. [I] landed on my chest actually. It's all right."
