India on a Dream Run

3 Back to Back series loss.. One on the soil where the world t20 is being played. Question marks on Indian bowling and if Raina and Yuvraj come good.. Well, Like the Champions trophy Indians seems to find it all go there way. By the end of there group stage matches India more or less have got answers for all there answers. The hullabaloo surrounding around Indian bowling has disappeared somewhere, So are the doubts on Yuvraj Singh. Lets take a look on what India has achieved so far. And what threats are still waiting on the door for the One Day Champs.

Ind vs Pak
The Match was against the arch rivals Pak. That to first match of tourney where you have less idea about the conditions and Your playing 11.. India found a new hero in Amit Mishra who made us relive the wonderful feeling of seeing the batsman get beat with his leg spinners and googlies.

Ind Vs WI
It was between T20 Champions vs ODI Champions. And guess what!! Even though gayle was dropped twice, WI scoring 51 runs in the final 5 overs, they could manage only 130 runs. However highlight of the match was again Amit Mishra. Proving that, performance against PAK was no fluke. Another bright spot was Bhuvi who gave 3-0-3-0 opening spell bamboozling world's most dangerous opening pair.

Ind Vs Ban
Expected to win against a totally shattered host team, they had no problems what so ever. However net run rate was what they could not manage better but because AUS lost to WI, India had no reason to worry about it.

Aus Vs Ind
"India are dew for a tough match" this is what Cullinan  said before every group match. Score card might say that India didn't get this one tough but it was challenging, For starters Dhoni lost toss, India batted against the heart broken Aussies. Kohli failed as did Rohit. Yuvi finally pulled them off and then all the bowlers specially Ashwin was unplayable. Folding the mighty Aussies who are termed as Indian bowling hunters as they showed in past 2 world cups for just 86.

India looks to have settled most of their cards but opening pair is still a concern, Surely Dhawan will be brought back but what if he fails again? Mohit Sharma bowled really well in the last match but will Shami get a look again? He being the main strike bowler or What if dew comes in?  Apart from these issues India will have to be vary of SA attack and this is the team which wants to get the chokers tag away from themselves. With WI and SL fighting it out in first semi its gonna be tougher for the Indian team if they proceed to finals. LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST.. :) Have a nice day
