Ravi Shastri on Team India's emphatic win

'' boys showed ir great character. reason I say character is because after thrashing in Mumbai, to have belief that y can do it and do it two games in a row with one day travel is an outstanding achievement. Once y got off to a start, y (Rohit-Virat) realised y are up against a team that is always looking for wickets. So way both batted with a lot of responsibility.

If you execute properly, you are going to get him. exposure young players y get playing against an opponent like this will stand m in good stead. next time y play any opposition, entire mindset will be different for m. Saini is rapid. If he gets it right, he will tickle a few. Really proud of guys'', said Shastri.
