It has been a while since the top order consisting of KL Rahul, skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have fired in unison.
Rohit said it was all a matter of taking one wicket --between Wade and Tim David (18 off -- to seal victory in the match.
On Sunday, Kohli -- who hit five consecutive half-centuries in the recently concluded World Cup but failed to convert any -- ended his five-month drought for an ODI hundred with a brilliant 120-run knock.
Enroute his eighth ODI ton against the West Indies, Kohli went past Sourav Ganguly's tally of 11,221 runs to become India's second-highest run-scorer in ODI cricket after Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs).
Praising Saini, who starred in India's win with figures of 3 for 17 in his international debut, Bhuneshwar said, "Just before coming into the team he played for India A against West Indies A in West Indies. That is why he did well. When you do well at international level, it gives you a lot of confidence."
Notably, the Men in Blue have been invincible in the tournament so far. With 9 points from 5 matches (4 wins and a rain-washed match), India are at the 3rd spot on the points table.
The BCCI sent out an official message saying: "Navdeep Saini has arrived in Manchester. Navdeep is the only net bowler here and he will train with the Indian cricket team."
