Visakhapatnam: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday lavished praise on his bowlers for the resounding series-clinching win over New Zealand in the fifth and final ODI here on Saturday, describing the effort as &ldquo;one of the best performances by the bowlers&rdquo;.
Leg-spinner Amit Mishra produced a magical spell to claim 5-18 as India clinched the five-match ODI series 3-2 with a thumping 190-run victory in the final game. It was a perfect Diwali gift for the Indian cricket fans as Mahendra Singh Dhoni&rsquo;s men carried the demolition job in style as the spinners made Black Caps&rsquo; succumbed to their lowest-ever total against India in ODIs. &ldquo;It was one of the best performances by the bowlers. This was one game where the spinners bowled with a lot of assistance.
&ldquo;Before this when we bowled first, the wicket was always better to bat in the first half. It was an exceptional performance as there was a bit of dew. The pace at which the spinners bowled was perfect,&rdquo; Dhoni said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
&ldquo;Mishra&rsquo;s beauty is he bowls slow, so as a &rsquo;keeper you have time to recover. And in tandem with Axar (Patel), who bowls flat and quick, it was very good.&rdquo;
Dhoni also hailed Virat Kohli for his 76-ball 65, which according to him, set the platform for the 269 for six on a difficult wicket. &ldquo;I think Virat (Kohli) was superb with the bat. We got off to a decent start. When Rohit (Sharma) got injured, the message was if you think you can&rsquo;t carry on, just play your shots. Once he (Kohli) got out, Rohit gave us some momentum.&rdquo;
