We have Kohli and Rohit who are both accumulators.
I expected this team to dominate SL more than our regulars would and they started on the right note.

Well, at least Bhuvi kept his wicket and did not become the headless chicken that some of the top--order blokes did. In some sense, what this is showing is that people such as Prithvi and Ishan can be the icing on the cake when the bread and butter is laid down by Kohli, etc. Without them, these folks should not be in the team unless they show they can carry an innings once in a while. Of course, Prithvi has gotten only 5 chances and Ishan got two and scored a 50 in the first one. So, there is hope and the talent should shine. But, someone should tell them to value their wickets a bit more and take judicious risks.
I think you meant 8th wicket. I was trying to remember other great such heists. I remember when Sehwag scored a century against NZ and we barely won by a wicket. And, then when we were 60-5 odd and then Rohit and Jadeja pulled us to 150 odd and then we managed to squeak through with one wicket in hand. However, this win is different in that we did not lose the last 2/3 wickets and managed to pull it out.PKBasu wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 5:57 pm What a masterly chase by Rahul Dravid's boys. Brilliant unbeaten stand of 84 runs for the 9th wicket between Deepak Chahar (69* off 82 balls) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (19* off 28). They very sensibly played out a single-run over (the 48th) from the leg-spinner at the end, but took full toll of the pacers.
