India vs Nethelands Live: ‘Best bowling attack in 50 years’; Ravi Shastri praises India bowlers
India vs Netherlands Live: Speaking at the Club Prairie Fire show, Shastri said,“It is the best attack that I have seen in 50 years, ever since white-ball cricket started. And its all because of the variety. You have Bumrah who is a freak, then you have Shami who is a master when it comes to seam position and then Siraj, who is feisty, can get under your skin and is a slippery character. You also have Jadeja, who is at the peak of his prowess and Kuldeep, who has improved leaps and bounds. So when you look at that attack, it has every box ticked for every condition. They have the skillset and experience to adapt to every conditions and that is where they have improved since the last World Cup,”
India vs Netherlands Live: Dravid praises skipper Rohit Sharma says ‘led by example’
India vs Netherlands Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Rahul Dravid said, “Rohit has certainly been a leader, you know, without a doubt. I think he’s led by example both on and off the field. Some of the starts that he’s given us, the way he’s cracked open games for us. A lot of times people have looked at one, I mean, I can’t go into the specific games, I’m sure that you will be able to look into it, but there have been some games where it could have been tricky for us, but the fact that he’s been able to get us to those kinds of starts has literally cracked open the game. So, in the end, it’s actually looked easy, but on reflection as a coaching staff, when we looked at it, we’ve realized the impact that meetings like that of his innings have had on games like that, that have made it look easy for us and certainly made it easier for the guys who followed in that department,”
India vs Netherlands Live: Fantasy XI for today

India vs Netherlands Live: Ravi Shastri’s big warning to India ahead of semi-finals
India vs Netherlands Live: Speaking to news agency PTI, Shastri said, “In terms of this year’s competition, India have a mindset that they can go all the way playing like this. That absolutely should be their mindset and would be mine if I was in that dressing room – let’s go out with all guns blazing. That approach has worked so far and if that changes, things may go astray… I believe they can go all the way unbeaten, which is really something to strive for. There may be some fears of ‘we have played so well so far, there may be a bad game around the corner in the semi-final’. They have to try and nullify those and banish any negative thoughts”
“It is extraordinary and it has taken time, it has not happened overnight. They have been playing with each (of them) for four to five years. Siraj joined the party three years ago.” Shastri added.
“They know the kind of areas to hit on a consistent basis. They know it is not important to look flashy when you bowl. It is more about consistency and getting the ball in the right areas… In this World Cup, they have bowled hardly any short balls. if there is a short ball, it is used as a surprise weapon. 90 per cent of the time they have been targeting the stumps like you must do in India hitting those three-quarters lengths.” the former Indian coach noted

India vs Netherlands Live: Rahul Dravid praises Indian middle order
India vs Netherlands Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Dravid said, “Yeah, it’s terrific. I mean, I think again, I answered this question if I remember in Chennai. And I said that, middle orders in one-day cricket, somebody asked me about and I said middle orders are going to be very, very important in a tournament like this. You know, they’re going to, how well your middle order performs in sometimes very tricky conditions and challenging situations under pressure, is actually going to probably decide how well you do. While our top orders also performed exceptionally well. I think our middle orders played very critical roles. Sometimes you can’t judge them by sheer numbers. It’s obvious that when you look at a leaderboard of scores and runs, it’ll always be someone in the top three. I mean, it’s pretty obvious,”
“You look at that whole board and It’s all filled with guys from any country who are in the top three. So that only gives you one half of the picture, but it’s actually some of those 30s, 40s, critical knocks. I can look back on this whole campaign and look at the contributions of our middle order and they’ll come only in sort of spurts, or one knock here, or two knocks there, and somebody done something there, or a Shreyas, or a KL, or a Surya’s knock here, and Jaddu’s important knock in Dharamshala. And you can look at a lot of these small, small things, and actually that’s what really gives you those ticks, or gives you those wins at the end of the day. So, it’s a combination of things. And touchwood, our mid-lord has been truly exceptional in this tournament,”

All of them are in the top bowlers in the world. I have never faced them personally. It will be an awesome challenge to face those three bowlers, Kuldeep and Jadeja as well.

So, we’re pretty well rested and the guys are in good shape. That’s all I’ll say without giving away the level. So, we’ve had six days off, we’ve got one game before the semi-final. Boys are rested. So that’s all I’ll say,”
