Indian Cricket Team - A Look into the Present and Future

So another win in India's kitty...!!! Feels good... Doesn't it..? Seems that after a long time a team is in the making which can pull a match either by chasing a big target or batting first and then putting a challenging total. Not only that, the bowling has also been extraordinary in the last few games. Kudos to Indian Team!!!

Thank god... now we have more than 1 Tendulkar, each of them fighting for their places in the Indian team for the next world cup. So the seniors are being shown the door (read Ganguly and Kumble for at least the ODIs). I feel even Tendulkar's days are getting over and before it becomes too much, he himself should depart and make way for a Gen-X Tendulkar. Of course with due respect to Tendulkar, I think this is the right time for him to make the decision. Already he has been ousted, whatever may be the reason, and I don't know the truth behind the reason but as he is out of the ground he can give it a thought at least.

You must be thinking of what I have to say for Ganguly. Well you also know that he has been the most successful captain of the Indian team in entire Indian cricketing history. He should have given at least a little more respect. But, now it seems to be quite difficult for him to get a chance. We have the likes of Dhonis, Pathans and Rainas who have it in them to bring the World Cup from West Indies!!! So, sorry Mr. Ganguly if your days are over!

Kumble... the leggie... who has tricked so many batsman of world class... is now being picked up for Tests only. Reasons are obvious and no need to elaborate. The management wants his energy to be reserved for the tests only as ODIs are about power play and Indian Team is capable enough of hitting a boundary every over in ODIs. But, for tests, yeah we need Kumble.

Dravid... the simplest metaphor I can use for him is in Hindi... and that is... Lambi Race Ka Ghoda... So, Mr. Dependable or Mr. Defendable whatever you say... now he is the role model of millions and millions of Indian youths, and rightly so. The way he has led the team is fabulous. Great work Jammy... keep it up and get us the World Cup.

The youngsters... Dhoni... Pathan... Raina... Kaif... Yuvi... Bhazzi... well you can feel the fire in there eyes when they are on the ground. And that's what India needs for the next World Cup. Although it's just the start of the journey for these players... they have shown the character that is required and lets hope this fighting spirit remains in them till forever...

Well... keep the momentum going people. India is watching and following you...

Get us that miracle of '83 repeated... Get us the World Cup!
