Internet Desk: Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were praised by skipper Virat Kohli after their splendid bowling performance.
“Bowlers were really clinical today and fielders as well. Both those guys (Kumar and Bumrah) are coming along nicely. They know they are going to start more often than not.
“Today, with the wicket being slow, it was heartening to see them getting wickets in conventional ways,” said Kohli after India’s six wicket win over New Zealand in the second ODI.
Bumrah bagged 2 wickets while Kumar took three and thus helped thr Men in Blue to secure a victory against the Kiwis.
The chase was completed in 46 overs with Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik scoring timely half centuries.
“Dhawan has been playing really well. He’s striking the ball really well. He’s pretty confident at the moment. Dinesh as well, getting some crucial runs for himself as well as the team.”
The series decider will be played in Kanpur on Sunday.
“I look forward to challenges. We spoke about bouncing back before this game, and we have bounced back here today. Would look to play similar sort of cricket in Kanpur as well,” added Kohli.
