'It's a dream bowling combination for any skipper': Virat Kohli lauds his bowlers for their outstanding performance during Indore Test
India outclassed Bangladesh in the first Test match in Indore at the Holkar Stadium to cruize to an innings and 130-run victory on Saturday.
The visitors were bundled up for just 150 and 213 runs in response to India’s 493/6 dec on day three. This was also Team India's third consecutive victory in the longest format of the game.
R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma were the true MOTM during the third-day fo play and helped Kohli register his 10th innings victory in Test matches as a skipper.
The Indian pacers have averaged 15.82 in 2019 and during the post-match interview, Kohli lauded his speedsters and said, "I don't really know what to say. Clinical performances all around. The team is playing really well."
"I can't say something which people are not seeing on TV (Talking about good performance). Fast bowlers are at the top of their game. It looks like a different pitch when they bowl.”
"Right now, Jasprit is not a part of the attack. So, when he comes back it will be one heck of an attack to counter. It's a dream bowling combination for any skipper. Even the slip fielders are ready as they know the ball can come any over, having strong bowlers is the most important thing," Virat added.
With this victory, Virat also goes level with former Australia captain Allan Border's record of 32 Test wins and is also joint-fourth on the list of skippers for most victories in red-ball cricket.
Speaking of the record, Virat said, "The numbers and the records are there for everyone to see. Our focus is to take Indian cricket higher and higher. The motivation and the intent are right and we don't care about the numbers. The motivation has been right, the intent has been right and we are going to keep pushing in that direction."
