After speeding out Sri Lanka for 50 on Sunday in the Asia Cup final, Indian captain Rohit Sharma could not hide his delight at the performance of his fast bowlers

After speeding out Sri Lanka for 50 on Sunday, Indian captain Rohit Sharma could not hide his delight at the performance of his fast bowlers and said the variety they give to the platoon is extremely important. Pacer Mohammed Siraj sailed a awful spell( 6 for 21) that laid the foundation for India’s 10- gate palm over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final.” I get a lot of satisfaction when I see fast bowlers perform like this. All the captains take a lot of pride in fast bowling( at their disposal), and I’m no different. We’ve got a fantastic set of fast bowlers,” Rohit said at thepost-match media conference.

” All of them have different skill sets and variations – bone
can drift hot, one can swing the ball, one can get good brio. When you get all of these aspects in one platoon, it’s a sense-good factor,” added Rohit.

Rohit said Siraj was so high on adrenaline after an unbroken seven- over spell that yielded six lattices, and it needed a word from the platoon coach to stop the leader from bowling.

“It was veritably pleasing to watch from the slips( how Siraj sailed). He got the ball to move a bit further than the other two. We were riding behind him( Siraj) when he was brushing that spell,” the commander said.

“He sailed seven overs in that spell, and I got a communication from the coach that we’ve to stop him now. He was relatively hopeless to coliseum,” said Rohit with a chortle.

still, Rohit said he wasn’t planning to give Siraj another over.

” He sailed seven overs, which is a lot. Siraj was in a analogous situation against SL in Trivandrum, and he’d sailed some 8- 9 overs on the witch,” he added.

Rohit also heaped praise on left- arm wrist incentive Kuldeep Yadav, who was latterly arbitrated’ Player of the event’.

Kuldeep has done veritably well under pressure. He sailed well against Sri Lanka( Super 4 match) and we won despite posting a small aggregate.”” His confidence has been going up over the last two times or so. He drags the platoon back into the match from any situation,” said Rohit.

The Mumbaikar said the Asia Cup triumph has come at the right time for the platoon, and they’ve taken a lot of cons from the event ahead of the World Cup, starting coming month.

“Throughout the event, the guys stood up under pressure and performed their places. We were slightly below par in some games( in fielding), but overall, our fielding was veritably good, slip contending especially.

” We’ll have off days on the field, which is fine as long as you bounce back well the coming day,” he added.
