India, who thrashed Bangladesh in the quarter-finals here today, are well on course to defend their title as the bowling attack led by Mohammed Shami -- highest wicket-taker (17 scalps in six games) in the tournament so far -- has managed to bundle out the opposition in all the games, and Gavaskar is impressed with the show by the bowlers.
"They have dismissed have every single team they have played against and I think what more can a captain ask for. He gets into a position where he really doesn't have to worry too much about one bowler getting hammered because that can happen in a one-day situation," he added.
"What Dhoni is doing is that he is using Suresh Raina very cleverly. He is bringing him in on if (Ravindra) Jadeja or (Ravinchandran) Ashwin go for a few runs in their first couple of overs till they settle down and then Raina comes in and bowls 3-4 quick overs and sometimes more than that, picks up a wicket, keeps it tight and then Dhoni can go back to the spinners and get them to bowl well," he said.
