Mumbai, 23 October: The Indian cricket team has a rare moment of dominance. After some time, especially on the receiving end, when they were away in England, Indians, and is now a major trend change. England play India in Mumbai on 4 Match the place on Sunday, where they triumphed to win the World Cup earlier in April. Fifth Twenty Fifth match series played in Kolkata in October.
Adding more spice to the current trend of young people to support the Indian side, which has proven that there is a lack of reserves waiting to be selected. There is no Tendulkar, Zaheer, Yuvraj, Sehwag and Harbhajan but there is great enthusiasm and spirit of young people who have chosen to replace retired. One must admire the performance by Ravinder Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Ashwin and others who have risen against the touring England side. Rahane keen to continue his batting form and will play in front of their home crowd for the first time an international match. One is grateful for all round contribution Virhat Kohli, who has been outstanding series.
In the five game series, India has already won a 3-0 lead and determined to win the next two games and to make a clean sweep. Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni looks as fresh as a flower, and this is evident in her approach to every game so far. His batting has looked like nothing to join and it's his ability to stop the match-winning style.
Although the Indian team is not good quality fast bowlers, young people are not allowed to work freely in England batsmen score. This is the spin department, with Jadeja and Ashwin has excelled in others as well as to Raina.
India won the series now, there is reason to believe that the captain Dhoni gives opportunities to those who do not play each other. Promising spinner Rahul Sharma to be itching to show the trick in England. It is also untested pacers are also likely to get nod. This is an ideal opportunity for young people to share much needed experience in high profile British. Varun and Mithun to be fighting side with Praveen and Vinay are leading the pace attack. Young Umesh Yadav has gone home after the match in Mohali, and a third wounded in Karnataka has been replaced by Abhimanyu Mithun.
It can be a happier man than the Indian coach Duncan Fletcher, who should enjoy his stint after a terrible start to its work. Fletcher is an old fox, who knows more than a trick or two, and the Indians are sure to be gaining ground in its input. When the English won, there is another rugged trip to Australia, where India should be at its best.
England in India, nothing seems to go right. Captain Cook is still finding runs hard to come by, and the other players still have to click on. They are definitely missing the services Broad and Anderson, who has returned home and their replacements have not yet made an impact. Big Bresnan tried hard goods Indian sites and are losing patience. Spinner Swann has bowled well, but England is a poor fielding display helped him. Promising to Pacer Chris Woakes is due to home injuries, and Graham Onions has taken its place in the team. Overall, this has been an uneven performance by England cricketers. Even though they promised a lot of his first two games to warm up in Hyderabad, all that has followed the complete flop.
It is important that England will win the two remaining matches, they have hardly any idea of the Indian audience, who have been waiting a very close race. Many of these players chose to wait for the next edition of Indian Premier League. Talent is there, but it is a question of delivering the goods on time. There is nothing to lose, England, and we expect them to make a strong effort to win the remaining games to make the end result looks healthy.
As said before, skipper Dhoni not let guard down, even though he tries his new boys and give them a chance. Dhoni is a long term plan, which includes having a strong team in Australia, and the next two games will help him to see how the untried Indian boys acting on the international front.
Talking of the recent events in Mumbai, India batter injured Yuvraj Singh said: "What goes around comes around", referring to the barrage of criticism in England has in the past, when India was the receiving end.
Right now it is truly beautiful and comfortable cushion, the Indians at the moment and very pleasant. One doest not see any of the current Indian side of despair and how they achieved their goal proves it. 3 Delhi was the way India has reached his goal was laudable. Team India is to continue in the same way and never look back at the ugly face of defeat. It is a welcome change in the attitude of the Indian Team. This is the time for the owner and may not be a better time than the festival of lights when the mood is right, to do a variety of sweet success.
