chak de india - champions of champions


The three-month long tour Down Under could not have ended on a better message for India. An implausible 2-0 win over the World Champions in the CB series marks the young Indian team’s announcement in world cricket as a force to surmise with.

Sachin Tendulkar scored a outstanding 91 and pace man Praveen Kumar went on to bag four wickets as the tourists followed up Sunday's six-wicket win in Sydney with a exciting victory at the Gabba in Brisbane.

It was a remarkable display by the Indians, who not only conquered the mighty Australians in their own den but also brought about a happy ending to a turbulent tour, marked by a racism row involving Harbhajan Singh and other players..

India entered the finals of a tri-series Down Under in 1986, 1992 and 2004 but never won a single match on any of those occasions.

Having won the Sydney final on Sunday, Dhoni did most things right on Tuesday, including calling the toss and reading the pitch. Against popular theory, he retained Chawla in the side while bringing in Sreesanth for the injured Ishant Sharma.

The good thing about the Dhoni team is they never seem to get anxious by the opponents, pressure situations. They believe in themselves, never shy away from responsibilities and play a fearless cricket.

And this seems to be Mind you Indian bowling attack is devoid of regular bowlers - Zaheer and RP - and there you find the rookies Ishant, Praveen, Chawla take up responsibilities and come trump the secret behind their achievement.

So what ham trying to say is no need of seniors …

Let’s write off them who didn’t perform well…

But I feel pity for ganguly and dravid…but we have give way to youngsters when they perform…

All d best for the Indian team in the future…

Chak de India

well..the point i wanna make here is, if saurav and dravid were in this team, would we have performed badly or sth?? i dun think so! i am personally a hard core saurav fan! as sidhu rightly pointed out in Cricket controversies, let vengsarkar give two logical and rational reasons on why saurav was dropped! a man who had the highest aggregate last year was mercilessly dropped out of the side. things went well and so people are going gaga over this team. come the next test series against south africa and this young team wouldn stand two days! when sachin adds experience to the side, so does saurav and dravid. we cant treat our seniors who have brought glory to this nation like unwanted flies
