India pacer Deepak Chahar, who gave a brilliant all-around performance in the third ODI against the West Indies, said he wants to do well for the team with both the bat and the ball.
India defeated West Indies by 96 runs in the third and final ODI at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad thanks to Shreyas Iyer's 80-run knock and a brilliant effort from the entire bowling unit.
Deepak Chahar had helped India post 265 in 50 overs by scoring 38 runs in 38 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes, before picking up two wickets in the third ODI. He dismissed Shamarh Brooks and Brandon King.
“I want to do well with the bat, ball, or fielding when playing. I was bowling well and could’ve bowled a few better areas. (Batting) I try to play to the situation. We had lots of overs left when I came in,” said Deepak Chahar after the game.
“But it was difficult to bat due to the bounce. So I tried to target the spinners. I could’ve played 2-3 more overs. (When the ball is now swinging) This wicket was different. You just have to pick the length since there was bounce.
On flatter wickets, I need to do more pace and length variations. I have learnt a lot while batting with a bowling machine that if there isn’t a variation then it is easy for a batter,” he added.
India and the West Indies will now face off in a three-match T20I series in Kolkata, which will begin on February 16.
