Indian cricket is at its best. It seems to have acquired the winning habit- just when Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Zaheer and other great names disappeared from the ranks. Was it purely coincidental? Or was team India carrying these burdens for too long? Or did the stature of their names set such high standards that the newcomers were pressurized to rise to their standards? Whatever be the case, everything is happening right for team India. And for Dhoni.
Dhoni is the best thing that happened to Indian cricket in recent times. Gifted with unique leadership qualities, Dhoni is arguably the best finisher of the game now. The cool demeanor of Dhoni unnerves any opposition in any stage of the game. With the twenty-20 world cup, 50 overs cup and champions trophy, and the recent tri-nation cup in his pocket, Dhoni and his team looks hungry for more.
Whatever the controversies, IPL has had an important role in shaping up the present team. It is a platform where the inexperienced but talented players have an opportunity to prove their point. The only prize which now eludes the team is the number one spot in test rankings. Hope Dhoni and his men soon pocket that one too.
