Finally, in the game against Pakistan which was India’s first game in the ongoing Cricket World Cup, MS Dhoni relied on two of his quickest bowlers i.e. Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav as far as bowling upfront is concerned and both of them did the job in grand style for India.

They shared 6 wickets between themselves and did not let Pakistan go smoothly in their chase of 301. Continue reading 'Indian Board gets to right Bowling Combination for World Cup'»
