Bangalore, October 13: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today lauded his bowling unit for playing a pivotal role in India’s 2-0 series win over Australia but said India need to groom more bowlers, especially pacers, since performing consistently was not easy in international cricket.
India have rested key bowlers like paceman Zaheer Khan and spinner Harbhajan Singh for the upcoming One-day series.
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma are also not part of the squad since they are nursing injuries.
“I am not playing with key players since we need to give them rest. We need to groom bowlers. We have four or five good fast bowlers and three spinners who have been consistently performing.
“We need to rotate. It is also difficult for the fast bowlers to perform well in each and every match in India.
