Indian skipper MS Dhoni was all praises for Ishant Sharma after his impressive performance in the first ODI in Vodadara.
 
The Indian skipper felt the good bowling was an indication that the Delhi speedster was on his way back to gaining form. 
"I thought Ishant bowled really well and hit right areas. If he is bowling well his speed automatically goes up. 
That's when you know he's bowling in right rhythm and is in the right frame of mind," Dhoni remarked after the match. 
The pacer returned with figures of 3 for 50 in 10 overs and was placing the ball on good regions during his spell. He scalped Tim Paine in his first spell and returned in slog overs to dismiss Mike Hussey and Brett Lee. 
Dhoni said that Ishant was a bit low on confidence since it was difficult for the youngster to face failure after tasting success at such a young age. 
But, Dhoni also pointed out that Ishant needed support from everyone and that's what his teammates in the Indian squad were doing to help him come out of the rut. 
"He's a bit low on confidence and that happens when you are 21 and have always seen success. So it's difficult to deal with failure. When somebody is not doing well, we as friends and teammates want to back him," he said.LATEST SCORES
