Like in batting when experienced hands were supported by young players, same happened with bowling. Well done Team India and especially Bhuvi , Harshal and of course Bishnoi who was terrific once again. #INDvWI #CricketTwitter

It wasn’t easy. Outstanding bowling effort from India! Bhuvi and Harshal were superb in last two overs when pressure was highest. Congratulations @ImRo45 for winning the series. #CricketTwitter #INDvWI

One more series win by team India. Nicely led by Rohit. Bowling with wet ball and defending total was most satisfying for me. #INDvWI

— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) February 18, 2022

Excellent bowling by India in last 4-5 overs to stave off threat from Pooan, Powell and other big hitters in the dug out. Important too as it came fielding second, not easy given the dew factor, despite a big score to defend. #Rohit off to terrific streak as captain??

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) February 18, 2022

Harshal held nerve after Bhuvi set it up with a really good 19th over. Must say enjoyed the run chase. Well played Rovman Powell and Nick Pooran. @ImRo45 wins the series on what was a good enjoyable night .#INDvWI

29 needed in 2 overs with only 3 down and Bhuvi gives away JUST 4 in the 19th…!!! Unbelievable stuff. My Man of the match is Bhuvneshwar Kumar ? He won it for India @BhuviOfficial #INDvWI
