Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all praises for bowlers as he credited the fine show by his pacers and presence of part-time bowling option for his side's clinical 39-run win over Sri Lanka in the one-off Twenty20 international on Tuesday.

It was a tremendous show as pacer Ashok Dinda produced a career-best effort of four for 19 while Irfan Pathan ably supported him with three for 27.

Even the part-time bowlers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, did their job well and played a crucial role in slowing down the Lankan run-chase. They did not let their skipper down as the duo bowled four overs for 22 runs.

"Overall, we were really good. It was a good performance. We thought of a high scoring game but it was slightly different as the ball was swinging till the 20th over. So it was not really easy to slog. We thought we were 10-15 runs short. Especially the way Sri Lankan team started, we thought that may be the case but our bowlers came back beautifully," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Keep going strong Indians. We are proud of you and hope you all continue the good show in matches ahead as well!
