An Ode to the Indian cricketers
by sudhir dhar on Sep 25, 2007 08:04 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

First, Dhoni has arrived, as India's ODI captain.If he can be cool for 20 overs, hopefully he can be cool for 50 overs.

Congrats MSD!Great play!

Now lets see the other players...
Gambhir-consistent in ODIs and 20-20

Uthappa-inconsistent in 50-50, but slightly more successful in 20-20, but always gives a chance, when ever he scores, almost like Sehwag!Will he make it to the 50-50, once that his god father Dravid is out, we will have to wait and see.

Sehwag-still hasn;t changed-inconsistency still remains, as does the uncertainity regarding his retention to 50-50.

Yuvraj Singh- the real reason, why India is the 20-20 Champions.Unlucky to lose the captaincy, but MSD is more mature than him.Also the main plank for 50-50 team.

MSD-Humble(we have to see if it lasts though).Its touching that this Utaranchi origin boy of very humble background, who was grew up in Bihar,has arrived on the scene.I have ecome his fan only after the world cup, not for his batting, but for his coolness,matter-of-factness, and humbleness.I moment I treasure is the smart reply he gave to Ravid Shastri for his stupid article on cricinfo.com.
Way to MSD,India is with you.MSD is the first real captain from real India(His father worked his early life as a gardner{maalee} and later as a supervisor for gardners), unlike all rich people before him like Pataudi,Wadekar,Ganguly,Dravid etc(Even Azar came from a better back ground).MAHENDRA SIGH DHONI, I salute you from the bottom of my heart.
