India won the second ODI match against Zimbabwe and took 2-0 lead in three match series. Indian middle order did not get opportunity to bat in both matches. Top three batsmen finished the small target. Captain MS Dhoni thinks lack of opportunities for most batsmen is a matter of concern.
“So far, only three of our top batsmen have got the chance to play. In the batting department, we would like to make changes,” Dhoni said. He was asked regarding team combination for the last ODI and T-20 matches. Dhoni replied, “We’ll sit and discuss changes for the next game with Sanjay Bangar. There’s only so many players can do in only one game. We’ll see who can we fit in the T20 squad and maybe we’ll rest one of the bowlers.”
Besides that India captain praised his bowlers. “Our bowlers did a great job to restrict them, I felt they would cross 200 but our spinners got us important breakthroughs,” he said.
Asked about his catch to dismiss Richmond Mutumbami, Dhoni said, “It’s always good to take catches and the inside edges are always good to take.”
Man of the Match legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s performance was impressive. He took 3 wickets off 25 runs. “I enjoyed bowling, the wicket was a bit slow. The day before the batsmen were not going after me and were a bit defensive, today they were attacking me so I got wickets,” Chahal said.
