Rohit Sharma's massive praise for Shreyas Iyer

Rohit was quite chuffed with the way middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer and pacer Mohammed Shami repaid the management's faith in this World Cup.

Iyer made an outstanding 77 off 87 balls while Shami picked a wicket that swelled his tally in the tournament to 15.

Rohit said he would have kept his faith in them even if they did not come out with such performances.

"Even if the faith hadn't been repaid (by Shreyas and Shami), I would have still stuck to them. We need to keep the trust. It can't be done every day. For Shami to comeback the way he has, shows the mindset. The last two games have shown what Iyer is capable of," he noted.

Indian bowlers maintained their onslaught in the World Cup

Ravindra Jadeja's five-fer complimented Virat's century well as the famed South African batting lineup was bowled out for a paltry 83 runs. Pace duo of Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah shared four wickets between them. None of the batters managed to set their tone in front of a lethal Indian bowling lineup that has been on song so far.
