T20: Dhoni pleased with Jasprit Bumrah and Nehra bowling bid

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni extolled his bowlers for keeping the Australian batsmen under check as they outplayed the hosts to win the first Twenty20 comfortably, here on Tuesday. India bundled out Australia for 151 while defending a challenging 188 for three. "Jasprit Bumrah and Ashish Nehra executed their plans really well. That's one period where we have struggled consistently, so it's good to see them bowl well. Of course the spinners took the bulk of the wickets in the middle overs.If you keep taking wickets in the middle overs, it becomes easier to win the game so their role was very crucial," said Dhoni at the press conference.Along with Bumrah India also handed debut to all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who had a mixed outing. Dhoni underlined the need to pack the side with all-rounders in the T20 format."Whenever there is a bit of help, Jadeja bowls well. You know that his spectrum of performance is usually quite narrow, which makes it slightly easy for us and gives us stability.
