World Cup 2015: When Clive Lloyd said India has good all-round strength
Praising the Indian team, Former West Indies captain and chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd has said that the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side has “all-round strength” with players like in-form Shikhar Dhawan and the ever-consistent Virat Kohli.
Lloyd, who led a strong Caribbean outfit with one of the best-ever fast bowling attacks in the history of the game, is impressed with the “variety” of Indian bowling as they take on West Indies in the fourth group league encounter between the teams at the WACA on Friday.
“It’s nearly the same sort of side. India’s pace bowling seems to be pretty good and you have a good spin bowler in (Ravichandran) Ashwin. Overall you have got a good variety and I think India have good all-round strength,”
Lloyd expressed his views from the sidelines of the West Indies training session at the Murdoch University ground, here today.
“India’s middle order is pretty good. Kohli has been excellent for you guys. Dhoni can do anything any time. A good all-round side is the reason why you’ve been champions. I’m sure they want to be there at the end,” said while addressing a gathering that only had Indian journalists save one from the Caribbean islands.
Lloyd is the latest among the galaxy of former stars, who have showered accolades on Kohli.
“Kohli has been a tremendous player over the last two years and now you have the likes of Dhawan coming through. I think India should do well. They’ve won three out of three.
