Perth: Former India pace spearhead Javagal Srinath said Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s bowling attack has become the talking point in the ongoing cricket World Cup as the side notched up two convincing wins and lauded young seamer Mohammed Shami for showing “real maturity”.
Riding on a strong batting display powered by Shikhar Dhawan’s strokeful century, India yesterday crushed South Africa by a massive 130 runs to beat them for the first time in World Cup cricket. This was the defending champions’ second straight win, having outplayed Pakistan in their tournament opener.
“Two clinical but extremely convincing wins have set the ball rolling in the right direction for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men. The much-assailed Indian bowling line-up would undoubtedly be the most discussed topic hereon in the team meetings of most countries in the tournament,” Srinath wrote in a column for ICC. (PTI)
