However, Yuvraj Singh, who was in a good rhythm in the final, was replaced by himself in the fifth position.
Gautam, who was playing with his left hand at the crease at the time, was serious and Dhoni wanted to maintain the balance between right and left handed batsmen. Next, Dhoni believed he could easily score runs ahead of the Sri Lankan spinners. What Dhoni thought happened.
