"It was hurting and disappointing. But we have left everything in the dressing room. We have two more games to go and that is what counts now. Whatever has happened has happened.
You cannot change much. It's important to concentrate on what lies ahead and stay fresh mentally," Dhoni said at the pre-match press conference.
India trail the seven-match series 2-3 after the loss in Hyderabad. Asked about the team's strategy, Dhoni said the hosts would rely on a good batting effort and an improved fielding display.
" The strategy is to get off a good start and then capitalise on it and dictate terms to the the opposition. We have done well in patches. It's important to be consistent especially when it comes to fielding. So we are hoping to field well," he said.
On whether the middle-order's inconsistent form is a concern, Dhoni said though the performance has not been too good he is not worried.
"We rely on a good start but every now and then your openers don't score and the pressure comes on the middle order. This series in particular has been one where the middle order has not performed consistently," he said.
"It's not a worrying thing. But of course it's good if we get a good start so that the middle order and lower order capitalise on that," Dhoni added.
Reflecting on the defeat in Hyderabad, Dhoni said the team could have calculated a bit better and settled the issue.
"We had about five overs of Power-play left with four-five wickets in hand. More often in such a case the team batting second wins. I think we lost there. We are learning. Hopefully we will not repeat the same mistake again," he said.
Dhoni however refuted suggestions that the team would be under pressure tomorrow.
