<p>India stacked up 339 for six but had to toil hard to defend it before managing a 20-run win at Sabina Park.<br /><br />"Most of the guys thought we had won the game when they were seven wickets down but it was a mistake and hopefully, we won't repeat that. It was more close than we thought," he said after the match.<br /><br />About Yuvraj Singh, who played a magnificent knock of 131, Dhoni said, "He has matured as a batsman in the last couple of years. We rely a lot on him. He gets big runs for us in the middle-order."<br /><br />Dhoni said handing Ashish Nehra the ball in the closing stages was a gamble which paid off. <br /><br />"It was a gamble. We were thinking of giving that over to an off-spinner or a pacer. <br /><br />Finally we chose a pacer as the ball was getting reverse swing," he said.<br /><br />Dhoni credited Yuvraj with taking the game away from the West Indies and said it was a pleasure to have him in the side.<br /><br />"Once Yuvraj gets in, he always gives us a good score with a very good strike rate... He bats at a very crucial position for us -- at number four," he said.<br /><br />"I think today's was a very brilliant innings from him, it really took the game away from the West Indies, especially in the third Power Play.<br /><br />"It's a pleasure to have him in the side because he takes the pressure off the lower-order batsmen," he said.<br /><br />Losing skipper Chris Gayle felt they should have capitalised on the good start.<br /><br />"We came close and the effort can't be faulted for the way we went about it. I think that we had a good start and a couple of the top-order batsmen got good starts, which we should have capitalised on," he said.<br /><br />Man-of-the-Match Yuvraj said he exercised restraint to get set before exploding.<br /><br />"I was getting used to the pace initially. After getting 25-30 runs, I was comfortable. I got the momentum and played my shots. The partnerships with Dinesh (Kaarthick) and Dhoni got us to the big total," he said.</p>
