How about that for a complete performance and dominance? The only woe would have been the Indian batters- Gill, Kohli and Shreyas missing out on their respective hundreds. This is cricket, and that is how it goes. The batters got runs, and then the seamers wrapped it up in a quick time. India won 7 out of 7 and moved to the top of the points table, and became the first team to qualify for the semis.
Tomorrow, it's Netherlands vs Afghanistan in Lucknow. We will meet again. Until then, it's me AkshayaKrishna Polya signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Akshay Bhide and Sidharth Gulati, who, alongside our scorers/analysts Zeeshan Naiyer and Raju Khariya, brought you all the live-action of this India dominated game from Wankhede! Cheers!

Shubman Gill: "Our batting has been doing well but our bowlers have been doing a fine job. They have been restricting the opposition teams to low total and making our life easier. The way they were bowling, there wasn’t much conversation. We were anticipating a wicket on each ball. But the way they have been bowling, it was great to see.
Siraj is always fired up and it was good to see him.
I wouldn’t want to say that I’m nervous while walking out to bat. I try to play each ball by merit. I lost about 5-6 kgs due to dengue but I’m still down in terms of weight and muscle mass.
The discussion was to play as compact as possible. There wasn’t much pace from the wicket. There was some seam movement. We decided not to get in the shell and try to put pressure on the bowlers whenever we can.
When you see Virat bhai not converting twos into threes, you know it’s hot (laughs).
I got starts in the previous games but I failed to convert them into big scores. Once you got that start, we just thought about rotating the strike and after I got to 30-40, I let my instinct take over.
I honestly don't think this was a 400 wicket. We batted well to get to
350 and Shreyas played really well in the end to get us to that total.
(On Shami's celebration) Shami
was pointing towards our bowling coach. He doesn’t have any hair on his head
and it was to Paras Sir."
Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "Yeah. Very happy that we have officially qualified for the semi-finals now. When we started in Chennai, this was our first goal. But how we approached these seven games, it was clinical.
It was a good challenge to bat first and put runs on the board. That's exactly what we did today. You want to score as many runs and 350 is good on any surface and credit to the seamers then the way they bowled.
Yes. Shreyas, as far as i know him, is a very strong lad. Very strong in his mind. He did what he is capable of today and we saw it. He has been working hard in his game. Siraj, obviously, another quality bowler. If he does that, things look different for us. He can swing the ball and get the ball to come back in. We are very happy with how the squad has performed. Even Surya for that matter, he also stepped up the last game and scored crucial runs.
It is pleasing to see the bowlers' performances. Just show the quality of the seamers. If there are any conditions for the bowlers, they will extract it. With the seam-up delivery, they keep delivering for us.
I have left the drs to the bowler and the keeper. I'm not in a good position to make a call. I guess I have left it to the individual who I can trust. It was 50-50 today where we got one right and one wrong.
South Africa are playing some good cricket. It's going to be a great spectacle for the fans around the world and in Kolkata and they will enjoy the game."

Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka Captain): "Yeah, of course, I am very disappointed with our batting and also with myself. Their guys bowled brilliantly, they swung and seamed beautifully. We couldn't really play to our potential.
I really can't say that one in words (on the decision during the toss). The pitch was on the slower side early on, which is why I wanted to bowl first, and our bowlers bowled pretty well. Madushanka and Chameera bowled well to start with, but Shubhman's chance and Virat's chance weren't taken, and then the game changed a bit. Everyone bowled well in the middle overs.
They bowled really well with the new ball. Bumrah, Shami and Siraj, all of the fast bowlers, bowled well. The first six overs were excellent from their bowlers. Need to give credit to their fast bowlers.
We have two more matches. Bangladesh and New Zealand are our opponents. We need to make the most of it and will try to come back stronger."
