He surly is the destiny’s child, impossible
actually is nothing for him, that’s why with each passing match he is taking
team India to new heights. With the kind of success he has achieved, the man
with Midas touch is surly going to be considered as one of the greatest leader India
has ever got. The man in talking is once again the caption of team India –Mahendra
Singh Dhoni.
When a team scores 359 runs they
are considered to be winner by themselves and everyone, because chances of
chasing such a huge target in ODI’s are generally theoretical , with lots
of if’s . But this Indian team believes
in making things happen. I always wonder what Mahendra Singh Dhoni actually says to his team
members that they always perform for him and for the first time I had heard from the man
himself."I just told them in the innings break that we have done this in past
when we had made 414 runs and Sri Lanka
had made some 412-413 runs .Just go
their and don’t look at the scoreboard and try to play the shots in right shape”.
Easily said than done !! But these things count when a team actually achieve
it.
16 October 2013 was a historic
day in world cricket when world no.1 and world no.2 team battled to
produce a historic event for the ODI history. Australia scored 359/5 thanks to
the awful bowling performance by Indians
and in reply India scored 362/1 thanks to the awe-inspiring batting performance
of Indians. India chased down the target in 43.3 overs which turned out to be
the second highest chase in the history of game and could have been the highest ever, had Australia scored 435. Only on very few occasions such scores had been chased
by any team and unfortunately Australia was always at the receiving end in the
top four ones.
It was raining fours and sixes at
the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur last night. If score was rare then their has
to be some rare feast achieved by the teams and players. This match was not an
exception ,their was a fastest hundred
scored by any Indian involved in it along with the 176 runs opening partnership
against Australia by India. Top five Australian batsmen scored 50 and equaled the
previous record on the pitch which surly proved to be a graveyard for bowlers
with only 6 wicket fell in the match and 721 runs were scored. These achievement
of last night surly proves that history is yet to be written and records are
made to be broken.
