Heaping praise on the efforts of the 35-year-old stumper, Pune skipper Steve Smith said: "Got pretty close towards the end, but MS (Dhoni) did what`s he`s done for such a long period of time. Under pressure, he comes good again."
The Supergiant's six wicket win has helped them jump from last to the fourth spot in the IPL team standings and Smith is confident of getting up the ladder with four more home games.
