Bowlers, fielders were clinical, says Kohli
Pune, Oct 25 (IANS) India skipper Virat Kohli praised his bowlers and fielders for their performance in the second One Day International match here on Wednesday.
A good batting display from Dinesh Karthik (64 not out) and Shikhar Dhawan (68) helped India beat New Zealand by six wickets.
With this result, India equalised the three match ODI series. In the first match, India were defeated by the visitors by six wickets in Mumbai.
“Pretty good game for us today, exactly what we spoke at toss time. Bowlers were really clinical today and fielders as well,” Kohli said after the match.
“Its great to see both the guys (Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah) are coming along nicely. They know they’re going to start more often than not.
“Today, with the wicket being slow, it was heartening to see them getting wickets in conventional ways,” he added.
Kohli, who made a crucial 29 runs, also lauded Dhawan and Karthik for their performance with the bat.
“Dhawan has been playing really well. He’s pretty confident at the moment. Dinesh as well, getting some crucial runs for himself as well as the team,” he said.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
