New Delhi: Former India skipper Rahul Dravid lauded Mahendra Singh Dhonis men for their title triumph in the Champions Trophy and added that the team had the right balance. India enjoyed an undefeated run in the tournament as they clinched the title with a five-run victory over England in the rain-reduced final on Sunday.
“They were the best team. They did not panic in crucial situations, they won the critical moments towards the end of both the innings. Indias batting, to get them to 130, the partnership between Kohli and Jadeja and also bowling towards the end. So India were the better team on the day as well,” Dravid told the sources.
“I think the great thing about the squad is the balance. The conditions in England surprised us, I mean look at how much the ball spun, so because of the nature of wicket, it helped India play seven batsman with (Ravindra) Jadeja at number seven and five frontline bowlers. In the past, India didnot have that luxury.They played brilliantly,” he added.
The 40-year-old also lauded Indias fielding during the eight-nation one-day tournament.
