It is very heartening to see India’s new look team performing so well in the ODI series in Australia. To be frank, I didn’t expect them to play well especially the batsmen after Dravid and Dada were dropped from the squad. The way Gautam saved India in the rain washed Srilanka’s game in Brisbane or the calmness and courage Rohit showed with Dhoni in the famous MCG win on Sunday were simply amazing.
Over the past decade I am bored of seeing good young talent failing to utilize the opportunity given to them by the selectors even though they are very good in the domestic level. But the young talent that is on show now is not doing the same mistake. The selectors have made the right decision (atlast) in picking up this young side considering the 2011 World cup. With Sachin in the team and the most demanding conditions to play in the world (Australia) against the best ODI sides in the world, this team will only improve from here. Once Zaheer comes back I am sure that there will be more experience to this promising bowling attack.
It will be great if all the young players like Tiwary, Raina, Karthick are given good opportunities so that they can easily fit in the team if Yuvraj, Rohit or Uthappa fails or gets injured. We need a great pool of 20 players fit and fighting for their places in the Indian team for the WC. There will be failures, disappointments, loses with this new look team but we need to persist with them for our future considering the talent they have.
I am confident that this Indian side have in them to be world beaters and I wish them All the very Best.
Beware!!!! The young Indian Brigade is coming J
