Is 350 the new 280, 290 or 300? The bowlers are mostly getting smashed. Even the fast bowlers are bowling with their third man up and fine leg up. Not sure where its going but if we are chasing like this, it is not going to be good for the long-term health of the game,\u201d said a concerned Dhoni.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cWe knew a bit of dew will come later. Chasing it is slightly easy, as we can break down the game at intervals. We can evaluate after the 30-over mark as to what we need to do and what we can achieve. I think Shikhar and Rohit batted really well, and Shikhar got a century. For Rohit it was one of those days when you can&#8217;t find the gaps and he absorbed the pressure so well,\u201d said Dhoni, who was in all praise for Virat Kohli as well.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cYes I think Virat was brilliant, the reason being that as the ball got old he was counterattacking and maintaining a good position when going for the big shots. He made it look easy and the way he took pressure off the batsmen was amazing. Its always about taking the pressure off the new batsman,\u201d said Dhoni, adding that Bangalore was known for its big runs, so he wasn&#8217;t not sure how much India would need to chase or how much they have to set to chase over there.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Meanwhile George Bailey, Australia captain, said that it was disappointing to lose after setting such a big score. \u201cVirat played an unbelievable knock. It was a beautiful batting wicket, so you don&#8217;t see many batters complaining about it. We needed to find early breakthroughs. You can always do things differently, that never changes, win or lose, but we fought our way back into the game really well. We made them hit really good shots and when a guy is batting well that is all you can do. We are really looking forward to Bangalore now,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-17321\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" alt=\"dhoni-leads-2\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/dhoni-leads-2.jpg\" height=\"183\" width=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/dhoni-leads-2.jpg 210w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/dhoni-leads-2-150x131.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/>Nagpur<\/strong>: India&#8217;s young brigade once again steered India home as they went on to chase a mammoth 351-run winning target with six wickets intact at Vidharbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Wednesday.
