Head coach Ravi Shastri has dipped into history once again to underline the superiority of his team which won the Asia Cup on Friday through a narrow three-wicket win over Bangladesh in Dubai.

The Mumbai-based all-rounder was thrilled with his side winning both their games against arch-rivals Pakistan convincingly in the tournament. "To win over Pakistan with 20 overs and 10 overs to spare and that too in the gulf is special. I have been coming here since 1980. This is Pakistan's den... so I must compliment the boys for putting up an absolutely clinical performance. When I say clinical, I mean in all departments, batting bowling and fielding. You've got to raise the bar to that level to beat a team like Pakistan," he told Gulf News in a talk show hosted in Dubai.
