Harare, June 20: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was pleased with the way his bowlers performed Monday as India decimated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the second T20 to level the three-match series in style, here.
Led by paceman Barinder Sran who was ably aided by Jasprit Bumrah, the visitors completely pulverised the opposition.
“It is a big victory. The bowlers started it all, and they bowled the right length. I was a bit worried that it was the third match on the same wicket and we would have also batted if we had won the toss,” said Dhoni after the game.
The Indian captain said that the good show by the bowlers was well complimented by the fielders. “Bowling was backed by some good fielding, I emphasised that we had to run harder than we did in the last game. In the shorter format, it is very important,” he pointed out.
Sran was adjudged the man of the match for his four wickets. “It was fun, the ball swung. There was no pressure. I was not concentrating on pace but on swinging the ball since the pitch was suitable for that kind of bowling,” the left-arm pacer informed.
