Indian skipper MSD Dhoni said the team is beginning to eenjoy each other's success resulting in a cheerful dressing room.
Dhoni, who led India to a second consecutive win against England Monday said: "The guys are enjoying their teammate's success. We are gelling well as a team. And that is eveident from the way the dressing room shapes up."
He said even if a batsman fails in the middle, he knows he can make it up with a special effort in the field.
Dhoni heaped praises on Yuvraj Singh, who scored back to back tons and grabbed four crucial English wickets to help India pouch the Indore ODI by 54 runs.
"We were in a scenario where we were struggling to get even 200 runs from 29 for three. But Yuvi played a stunner."
The Indian skipper also praised the way Gautam Gambhir and Yususf Pathan batted to set up a daunting target for England.
Dhoni said he never had any particular target in mind: "We were changing the target every five to 10 overs. When the partnership between Gautam and Yuvi blossomed, we knew we were in for a rich haul. When Yusuf batted the way he did, it was clear we were headed towards a good total."
He said Yusuf's maiden ODI fity would give him a lot of confidence: "He has not got a landmark before but this knock would certainly give him a lot of confidence."
Dhoni said India would take one game at a time and not look too far ahead into the series.
India next play England on November 20 in Kanpur.
