MS Dhoni lauds http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bhuvneshwar-Kumar-c48045’s performance in 1st T20I against Pakistan – Cricket News Update
The Indian fast bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, received praise from the Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 after ending with figures of 3 for 9 in 4 overs on his debut T20I, against Pakistan at Bangalore.
“We have an exciting bunch of fast bowlers. If we can groom them well, they can be really good prospects for us. Bhuvneshwar can swing the ball both ways. He was really effective. Also, the wicket assisted him and he maintained a good line and length. Hopefully,
he will continue with the good work in the coming matches. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Dinda-c1098 is also someone who has shown massive improvement over a period of time,” shared Dhoni during a post-match press conference.
Losing the toss and put to bat first, India was restricted by the touring Pakistanis at 133, courtesy heroics from right-arm fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 (2-25). However, in reply, the new Indian opening bowler struck in
his very first over, clearing the defences of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 down in his second over to give India a life-line.
Having a strike rate under 30 in domestic T20s, the 22-year-old exhibited prime swing bowling (both ways). Nonetheless the young talent was not able to lead his side to a win against the Men in Green after skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 and right-hand batsman Shoaib
Malik (who also hit a maximum in the final over to seal the match) put up a remarkable 106-run partnership to take the game away from India.
Facing criticism for giving the final over to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 were scoring at
a high pace.”
Trailing the 2 match T20 series 0-1, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 will look to bounce back in the next encounter to level the series at Ahmedabad on December 28, 2012, which will later be followed by 3 ODIs.
