Adelaide, Jan. 15 -- India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik heaped praises on Mahendra Singh Dhoni for setting up India's victory in the last-over thriller in the second ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday.

"I think he (Dhoni) is been pretty solid this series. It was great to watch him bat and finish off an innings and we know he can absorb pressure and release it back to the opponents when the time is right and that has always been his strength and today you saw a perfect example of that," Karthik said in a post-match press conference.

Following captain Virat Kohli's dismissal, Karthik came out to share the crease with Dhoni in the 44th over, with India still needing 57 from 38 balls to level the series 1-1.
