Kohli heaps praise on Jadeja, Saha after series win

On winning on non-turning tracks too...
Why didn't you come in so many press conferences? I was waiting (laughs). I feel all those questions are to take the focus away from the team. We don't believe in that. Because we have to go and play cricket ourselves. We can't think of external factors. We never do. Our aim is to win games of cricket anywhere and everywhere we play. We have shown that over the past one-and-a-half years. So we don't go out there to prove anything to anyone. That we have a challenging win and we have to win because people are asking questions. We are doing our job, people are doing theirs. That's how the balance goes. Its basically what you want to entertain and what you don't want to entertain. As simple as that. But when we go on to the pitch we have control of what we can achieve. We understand our abilities. We have enough belief in our abilities to play good cricket anywhere. Not putting pressure of winning on challenging wickets, but believing in ourselves to execute our plans to the best of our abilities.

Bangladesh have confidence and belief to bounce back: Mortaza

Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh's captain for the abridged versions of the game, observed that the Asian country has put up consistent performances over a period of time and that one defeat against Afghanistan in the second One-Day International (ODI) played in Dhaka shouldn't erase all the good work done by Bangladesh in the recent past.
