    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, Nov 4 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> &nbsp;India&#39;s stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma praised his bowlers for their &quot;exceptional performance&quot; after a hard-fought five wicket win over the West Indies in the first of the three T20 Internationals here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Sharma also conceded that the low-scoring match at the Eden Gardens also had some lessons for his batsmen, as to how they should go about their job when conditions were in their favour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was an exceptional performance with the ball. There was quite a bit for the seamers upfront. Even for the spinners, if they put in the revs, it was spinning. There was a little bit in every department,&quot; Sharma said after India reached a winning 110\/5 in 17.5 overs in reply to the visitor&#39;s 109\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We used the conditions well, were in trouble chasing. We knew it won&#39;t be easy given the seamers they have, but there&#39;s some learning for us there, what we should do as a batting unit when conditions are in our favour,&quot; he said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sharma also lauded West Indies&#39; debutant pacer Oshane Thomas, who finished with figures of 2\/21 after seeing the back of Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is a really exciting talent without doubt, good height plus that jump he takes, if he bowls in the right areas, it won&#39;t be easy for any batsman in the world to counter that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He&#39;s really talented, also has the advantage of height which gives him the extra edge. I wish him the best in the future,&quot; the Mumbaikar said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also effusively praised Krunal Pandya, who finished with 1\/15 with the leather before remaining unbeaten with a 19-run cameo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Very very exciting talent. Krunal, I&#39;ve seen him closely playing for Mumbai Indians. He likes the situation where the team expects him to perform.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He was the one who asked me &#39;I want to bowl to (Kieron) Pollard, and got him out.&#39; When you see guys accept challenges and bail the team out, it&#39;s exciting as captain or as a team management.&quot;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
