Indian skipper M.S. Dhoni, wearing a broad smile, praised the performance of the youngsters after the second successive win in the ODI series against England.
Dhoni was particularly happy about the unbeaten third-wicket partnership between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli which ensured a smooth eight-wicket victory.
“We did not have to chase too much. It (England's 237) was a slightly under-par score. The partnership between Gautam and Virat was brilliant,” said Dhoni.
He stressed the need for century-maker Kohli to be more consistent and learn to convert his starts into big scores. “He is going through that phase. He is improving,” said the Indian captain.
Dhoni was satisfied with the team's run-chasing ability. “We have been able to chase slightly difficult targets. We are improving while chasing,” he said.

SUPER-SOPPER!

Impressed with the use of three super-soppers at the Ferozeshah Kotla to absorb the dew, Dhoni said the “wet ball” was responsible for India's plight in the rain-affected matches in England as the spinners could not grip the ball properly.
England skipper Alastair Cook admitted that it was a “concern” for his team to “lose heavily twice in a row.”
He said it was difficult for his bowlers to stop the Gambhir-Kohli onslaught.

CONDITIONS PLAY A PART

Cook added that his team was well prepared for this series, and felt that the conditions in the sub-continent played a huge part in the defeats.
“Just as India struggled in England, we are struggling here,” he said.
