India beat Bangladesh by 25 runs – ICC T20 WorldCup 2009

Posted by shantanu on June 8th, 2009

Indians have started their title defense in great style here, beating the giant killers comprehensively. After getting 180, they always had an upper hand but Bangladesh is a side that is highly unpredictable. The way Tamim and Junaid started, it looked we might have a contest but the early blow from Yusuf and subsequent blows from Pragyan Ojha, put Bangladesh on the backfoot. They got to a point of no return and India got home with ease. Stay connected for the post match updates…

Ojha says that he has had experience of playing in English conditions at club level. So he didn’t really mind the cold conditions much. It was pretty cold out there and gripping the ball and tweaking it was not very easy. He treasures this debut and look forward to carrying on.

Dhoni says that it was good to have got the runs even after he and Gauti got stuck in the middle overs. The ball was not coming onto the bat and he was confident of defending 180 as he had 2 spinners in the side.

Ashraful thinks that they did not really bat well. Their bowlers could not finish the innings well either. He seems confident of beating Ireland and making it to the Super 8s though.

Exciting Indian Talent

Posted by shantanu on May 29th, 2009

It may be premature to speculate on the possible team composition for future India (particularly for the test side) as watch the IPL move towards its grand finale. However, watching some of the Indians perform at the IPL and at the same time following the Aussie team composition for the Ashes, made me start thinking about how the Indian team structure will be post-Tendulkar/VVS/Dravid era. I am particularly excited about players like Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina and would expect them to make it to the test side as well. Here are my thoughts on a possible 11 (in batting order) for India possibly sometime in 2010/2011 + 3 benchmen.

Sehwag
Gambhir
Sachin Tendulkar
Suresh Raina
Rohit Sharma
Yuvraj Singh
MS Dhoni
Irfan Pathan
Harbhajan Singh
Yousuf Pathan
R P Singh
Amit Mishra (Pragyan Ojha)
Zaheer KhanIshant Sharma

+ Cheteswar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, Munaf Patel (Pradeep Sangwan, Kamran Khan, or Shoaib Maqsusi seem good candidates as well)
I would consider Yusuf Pathan, T. Suman, L. Shukla, Shadab Jakati, Virat Kohli, Naman Ojha and a few others for the shorter version of the game. I am concerned about the pace strength and would hope that some of the newer talent would come through with more consistency. I am not convinced that Sreesanth is ready to be back mentally and physically. RP Singh has done enough to justify a recall into the test version. He seems committed enough and fields much better than Munaf Patel.
