Chennai: Medium pacer Rishi Dhawan, who bagged four wickets in India A’s eight-wicket win over South Africa A, is keen to match his domestic performance in the ongoing tri-series. Dhawan took four wickets for 49 runs on a slow wicket at the M A Chidambaram Stadium. “Variations are important on a slow wicket. I tried to use as many as I variations as I could. Bouncer is a very good option on a slow wicket. You never know the ball will come fast or slow. That is why the pacers including me are trying to bounce out the batsmen,” said Dhawan.
