India Captain was ruing some of the umpiring decisions that led to India’s collapse against South Africa. Dhoni was also disappointed with India’s performance in the morning session.
“There were a couple of sessions in both Tests where we played badly and that had an impact on both matches. Even in the last Test we were in position of bother in the last session on day five.
“In this Test we started off well, but in just one session we were off-target. So as these young players play more Tests and gain experience they will learn to capitalise on moments. For example, when opposition bowlers are tired, that’s when you get free Test runs. Overall, fantastic performance but we could have done better,” he added, rating his team through the series.
Asked if DRS should come into play, considering the decisions that went against India, Dhoni did still not seem convinced on the reliability of the technology.
“There were few teams that were big time supporters of DRS previously, now they are against DRS. When it goes your way, it is good, but when it doesn’t it’s not good. There will be a few human errors in the game. If there are no human errors then batsmen won’t get out and bowlers will keep bowling in one area. It is part and parcel of this game, as long as they are not blunders.”
