The reason why Indian bowling has done exceptionally well in this World Cup is MS Dhoni. When we wrote them off, he kept supporting them.
He has that uniqueness to respond to a tough situation with ease. He does not involve himself much emotionally, and that’s his quality.
AB de Villers is the most complete player of the Modern Era.
