Dhoni - The Kaptan!!!!

After the humiliating defeat at the hands of bangladesh and srilanka in the early stages of WorldCup, Dravid resigned as a captain of Indian team. Then Selectors had decided to take India forward by handing over Captaincy to a youngster. There was a race between Dhoni and Yuvraj to be the next Captain of Indian team. But Selectors decided to go with Dhoni who is a cool minded person and was selected ahead of Yuvraj. Dhoni took his first assignment as a captain to lead India in T20 worldcup. Dhoni was lucky to win the T20 worldcup. Since then Dhoni became a superstar overnight. Dhoni was also selected as ODI captain. And Selectors decided to go Dhoni way to drop Ganguly,Dravid and Laxman from ODI Team despite good performance in test series against Aussies. Dhoni once again lucky to win the Australia's ODI tournament which end on a high note. All seems to be working for Dhoni and its time to test his leadership skills in test matches and the time comes for him at the third test against Proteas. Dhoni did well in test as well to win the crucial Third Test to square the series. Its difficult to say Dhoni a good Kaptan of Indian team.

India Square Series

Right from the first session India dominated Proteas to win the Kanpur test and Squared the series 1-1. Being a bowlers Sreesanth and Ishant batted beautifully to give India a lead of 60 runs. Proteas started their 2nd innings with inform Smith and McKenzie. Proteas strong batting lineup shattered by the bowling of Bajji & co on a Spinner friendly pitch. Proteas never controlled their innings to be dismissed for just 121 runs which gave India a target of 62 to win the test. With just 62 runs away to square the series, Sehwag played aggressively but failed to capitalize on the start he provided to be dismissed for 22 runs after scoring back to back 6 of Harris. Jaffer followed him to the pavilion. But Dravid and Ganguly made sure they are going to reach the target without losing any more wicket. As a whole, India took revenge to win the test in just 3 days as Proteas did it at ahmedabad. With this win, India is now ranked 2nd in the ICC test ranking.
MoM : S Ganguly (Dada) for his 87 on a difficult pitch to bat on.
MoS : H Singh (Bajji) for his consistent performance throughout the series.

Second day's play of Kanpur Test

India takes a lead of 23 run in the ongoing kanpur test with Ganguly emerging a top scorer for India. Sehwag and Jaffer opened the innings to face the music of Proteas strong bowling attack. Proteas removed both the openers in quick succession. Then Dravid and Laxman joined the party and survived the first session. It was Morkel did the damage with his uneven bounce that he extracted from the green park pitch to remove Dravid and Laxman with a beauty. Ganguly continued his good form to make his 34th halfcentury which helped India to take a lead. Yuvraj and reckless Dhoni gave him the company at the middle for sometime.The Green Park pitch is getting worse day by day producing 19 wickets in just 2 days. India are at 288/9 at the end of second day's play.                           

Dhoni,The Test kaptan too!!!

The crucial Kanpur test turned out to be the first test for Dhoni as a skipper of Indian Team and he did it with ease. Kumble didnt pass the fitness which made Piyush Chawla to get a look in. Yuvraj and Ishant replaces Irfan and RP respectively. South Africa unchanged his playing XI played at ahmedabad. SA won the toss and elected to bat. SA cost just only one wicket in the first session. INDIA fought back well in the next two session with 3 wickets in the second session and 6 wickets in the third session. Dhoni made a good exchange of spell which worked as expected to get wickets. It is difficult to say india ahead in this test. Tomorrow's Play is crucial for both the teams. As far as today's play is concerned, India did well to restrict SA for 265 who once were at 152-1. Smith,Mckenzie and Amla continued their good work at top of the order. Their middle order is a little bit shaky. Its tough pitch to bat on. How indians gonna play the SA's bowling attack. Join me tomorrow for second day's Play.

Will Munaf and Powar last 5 days?

After humiliating defeat at ahmedabad,Selectors decided to persist with Munaf and Powar. Munaf has been in & out of the team for a year or so with his fitness still remain unanswered selected in a 16 member squad. Gavaskar in his column raised a question over his team's spirit,but he still able to find a place in an Indian team. With a little swing and movement in his bowling, he can never ever be a threat to South Africans. Then Powar who has been recalled as a cover for Kumble has come from good domestic cricket collecting 25 wicket in ten games will share a bench in Kanpur test if Kumble passes a fitness test on 10th. Will they last 5 days of Kanpur test? Watch out for more in my new post.
