We have'nt played 20-20 match after that SA tour( till this T20 WC )... Only T20 tourni after that was that national level event where all the states from India are divided in to 2 groups and played. If Ranji trophy is considered the ebtry ticket to Indian Test/ODI team, this tourni does'nt look inferior to any of these.( infact all the Indian team players played for their respective sides in this tourni ).
OK... lets take ODIs. Ever since he was recalled to the ODI team, look at the following statistics.
1) saved the T20 match Vs SA 2) saved the 2nd ODI Vs WI in home series. 3) Almost got to the sight of victory Vs SL in the next ODI series. 4) Saved a ODI(along with Yuvraj) Vs SA in the 3 match ODI series in Ireland. 5) Saved the 1st ODI of the series Vs Bangladesh( with Dhoni ). 6) Even in this poor ODI series against Eng, he played sensibly in the 1st ODI( 45 N.O ), but it went on a losing note and no one was there to support him. 7) Apart from this he is very consistent in Tests.
For a player who showed lots of promise and composure, its unfair to gauge his performance just becoz one bad ODI series. He'll rock...
