Kuldeep Yadav’s Kanpur-based coach Kapil Dev Pandey had nothing but wholesome praise for the way Team India captain Rohit Sharma handled the bowling resources in varied conditions on his way to lifting the T20 World Cup in Barbados on Saturday night. “His handling of the bowlers, especially in the final, made all the difference. When he realised the Bridgetown pitch had become too flat, he used up the quota of spinners early and then beautifully manipulated the three pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya at the fag-end to stop South Africa’s victory march much to the delight of millions of Indian cricket fans worldwide,” coach Pandey said.
