The Stats Says It All

Sky Is The Limit

ICC World Champions

ICC T20 Champions

India (2011 and 2012) became the second team after Australia (1987 and 1988) to hold  both the senior and world cups at the same time !!! Now we want the T20 WC also the next month..!! Not a tall ask ! At all..!!

On Sunday August 26 ,2012 India (200,2008,2012) U19 team became the only team after Australia(1988,2002,2010) to win the world cups three times and that to in style by beating Australia in Australia and hence letting the Aussies to have a first lose in finals ever of U19 WC history. The two most deserving side made it to the final but unfortunately we can have only one winner .

2011 World cup -India Won by chasing in which Mahendra Singh Dhoni played a Captain’s Knock , 2012 U19 World Cup -we won by chasing where their captain Unmukt Chand played a  very responsible inning , 2010 U19 World cup Virat Kohli played the same watch winning knock and made his way to the Indian team ,so the doors are now open for you Unmukt Chand !! The young man has showed enough maturity to handle the pressure and in building his inning ,with the prefect combination of singles and calculative risks. As I say it often that holding their nerves and finishing things off is the one area where India has improved tremendously ,thats why a situation where ideally any one will take single we do it by hitting four or a six !!...you can thank to T20 cricket for that .  

2007 inaugural T20 WC , Two World Cups(1983 ,2011) , Three U19 World Cups (2000,2008,2012) champions first showed the world that Australian are beatable and now have truly dislodged them from the top position and looks all set to dominate the world .Well the pathway was of course not easy and how can we forget the man behind this change ,the one and only India's greatest captain ever Sourav Ganguly ,whose good work was further carried over by Mahendra Singh Dhoni ,captain really play big role !

India’s have far better record at home than Australia or England , it takes a lot for any team to beat India on its own turf ,it’s the other countries who have not improved their play according to the Sub- Continent conditions .India’s performance overseas has also improved over the past years , the Test No. Ranking , and Winning World Cup Overseas says it all . With such performance India’s future seems to be in safe hands.
