India's sensational triumph in the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in Johannesburg in South Africa has come in for high praise from one and all, including former cricketing greats of the country. Even the purists and conservatives, who still go by Test cricket, have hailed Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his young storm troopers for bringing laurels to the country exactly six months after a much-senior Team India cut a very sorry figure in the quadrennial 50-overs-a-side World Cup in the West Indies. Dhoni and company have proved that they have it in them to win even without stars and experienced cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble and Zaheer Khan. They have also demonstrated to the world that India, too, can play Twenty20 cricket. The ODIs though will be a whole different ball game. Moreso, with the old guard looking to prove a point.
