Don't think we've got the better of Mendis-Murali:
Dhoni Colombo, Feb 1 (PTI) Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today said his batsmen have done well by not giving wickets to Ajantha Mendis and Muttiah Muralitharan but they have still not managed to get the better of the spin twins in the ongoing one-day series against Sri Lanka.Muralitharan and Mendis, who have enjoyed a good success rate against India in the past, have so far come a cropper in the five-match series which the Indians lead 2-0.
"I won't say that our batsmen have got the better of the Sri Lankan spinners. There are still three more games to go. They are not getting wickets, but at the same time they are not giving away too many runs," said Dhoni.
"We are cautious and targeting other bowlers. We are happy that we are not giving wickets to the spinners," he added.
Dhoni also warned his teammates against getting complacent in the remaining matches. Dhoni said he expects a high level of commitment from all the members of the team in the remaining three matches.
"It was tough and we did not have such a game for a long time. We have to be careful as such wins often make us relaxed a bit. We should remember that the series is yet to be won. We want to win the series and for that each of us have to give 100 per cent," he said after India's 15-run victory here yesterday. PTI
