Indian captain Rohit Sharma heaped praise on his bowlers, who put together an incredible comeback against Pakistan to bowl them out for just 191.
With Pakistan cruising at 155/2 at one stage of the game, India were probably staring at a target close to 300. And the Indian skipper, who himself led from the front with a masterful 63-ball 86, lauded his bowlers for managing to bowl the Pakistanis out under 200.
In the post-match presentation, Rohit stated, "The bowlers were the ones today who set the game up for us. I don't think it was a 190-pitch. At one stage we were looking at 280. The way they showed grit says a lot. That is something we pride ourselves in. Whoever gets the ball does the job. We've got 6 individuals who can do the job with the ball."
Rohit's words hold true, considering how it was a real team effort for Team India with the ball. Barring Shardul Thakur, all the other 5 bowlers - Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, all took 2 wickets apiece. India, in fact, took 8 wickets for 36 runs in 13 overs.
While India's domination in the first three games has got the fans excited, Rohit was quick to downplay his team's achievement, stating it was important to find the balance.
He emphasised, "All in all, it's looking good. Want to keep my fingers crossed. Don't want to get too excited. Don't want to get too low as well. Want to stay balanced. Keep calm and keep moving forward. Every opposition we come up against are all quality. You have to play well on that particular day, and that's what we're looking at."
India will next face Bangladesh on October 19 in Pune.
