TEAM INDIA TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED
Team India bolstering itself after a home made World Cup win now face
the music on overseas series. First it was the turn fifth placed
South African side to whack the weak Indian side and now it is the
turn of eighth placed Kiwi side to corner Team India in two successive
games without semblance of fight by the so called the best batting
line up in the world. We have now come to understand that the number
one status is just for the papers but the real game is played on the
ground and the team doing well on the day is the best side. We have
not hear much about de Kock or Anderson but they make a match of it
whereas our super heroes pitched against a genuine pace attack fail
miserably and not able to play the full quota of overs as well. Team
captain Dhoni does not know whether to bat first or second after
winning the toss. All along he was depending on the toss, pitch and
the poor umpiring in India and the vociferous crowd support to win
games at home. Now everything is going against the Indian Captain and
he is just one more captain going through the motions and not applying
his mind at all. When Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina along with
Dhawan and Rohit Sharma fail repeatedly instead of changing them and
take a fresh call on openers with Ashwin and Rahane to open the
innings we try again and again the failing combination. New Zealand
played to a plan and achieved their objective and gone 2-0 up in the
series. On the other hand Team India is looking for their first win
in the last 5 overseas matches. This clearly shows which is the
number one side and only home series help Team India to keep up their
track record and not because of any extraordinary talent of our
batsmen and bowlers. After all this overseas outings it is made very
clear.
