"Yes, the fast bowlers and spinners have been doing their job. We always kept the pressure on the opposition and if you see their batting line-up, they have big hitters down the order and we respect that. I keep it simple," the CSK captain said.
Talking about Ajinkya Rahane's sensational 71-run knock off 29 balls, Dhoni said that it's important to realise the potential of someone.
"We realise the potential of someone when we allow him to bat the way he bats. We give him freedom, give him the best position. In a team environment, someone has to sacrifice his slot to allow the others to get more comfortable, and allow the team to succeed", he added.
CSK will next face the Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 27.
