Dhoni said while the top-order batsmen were in fine form, what was heartening was the improved show by the bowlers. ‘If you compare the Australia series to the kind of death bowling we did today even if we were missing the yorkers, it was not by much. They were ending up as low full tosses and that is a big improvement for us,’ he said.
‘Also in the middle overs, the two spinners and Raina, is a big positive,’ Dhoni said. On his batsmen’s consistent performance, Dhoni said, ‘Rohit and Skikhar gave a very good start, Virat has been as consistent as ever, and we have finished well with the lower order.’
Man of the Match, Shikhar Dhawan, who hit 119 today, said he was comfortable with the track as he played on such kind of wickets in Delhi.
‘We usually play on these kind of tracks in Delhi and I am used to playing on them. I knew there would not be much bounce and the drives were on. Happy with my form,’ he said.
