| Dhoni described Tendulkar's double century as "one of the best innings ever played. "Once Viru (Virender Sehwag) fell, it was important to get some kind of a partnership going," said Dhoni. "I thought Dinesh and Sachin batted really well and they gave us a platform from which we could have scored at least 350. The way Sachin batted, the way he continued until the 50th over, it was superb. Even when he is tired and he can't play the big shot, he uses the pace of the bowler quite nicely. It's very difficult for the bowlers because they don't really know in which areas to bowl to him. It was one of the best innings ever played and it was great to watch." |
