Defeat before success, Dhoni sleepless
The defeat of the Indian Cricket Team in the five match ODI series played against the host team South Africa, has shattered the hopes of Mahindra Singh Dohni, the skipper of the Indian team, to win the Trophy of the upcoming International Cricket World Cup.
SA has beaten the blue shirts 3-2. This unexpected failure has let the Indian players down and made them doubtful about their performance in the World Cup. Their confidence on their professional abilities has been wrecked and they are looking for some miracle
to regain their lost stamina.
The skipper Dhoni is in great shock and agony after losing in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. His confidence and trust on his team has shattered. He is restless and tense. His shoulder is burdened with the expectations and hopes of his countrymen and the responsibilities
of a scattered and shattered team that he has to remake in order to ensure victory in the World Cup.
Dhoni has put the responsibility of the failure on his batsmen. He is of the view that batsmen have proved to be irresponsible and incapable during the last game and it was only the bowlers who took wickets. He had great confidence on his batsmen who proved
to be unreliable. Dhoni thinks that his team’s batting line has completely flopped and he has learnt a lesson from this failure that the wickets should be saved for last ten overs that are always decisive in the victory and failure of a team. He has admitted
that his team did not have proper time for preparation.
It is a fact that the batting line of the Indian Cricket Team is weak and poor. It needs to be improved alot. The batsmen have turned to be incapable to face the strong bowling attack and hold on the pitch. This incompetency ahead of the World Cup is a great
misfortune for a team that is counted among the top teams of the world.
In spite of such sock, Dhoni has a little ray of hope due to the presence of Yousaf Pathan in the team. Pathan displayed excellent performance during the last series. Dhoni trusts his capabilities and according to him, he is the only player who can take
team on the shore of success in the World Cup. Dhoni hopes that his players will correct their ways and will not repeat the same mistakes again.
On the other hand, the skipper of the winning team Grame Smith has said that his team’s victory in the ODI series has raised the morale of the players and it will boost up their confidence to play and win in the World Cup.
A five matches ODI series was held between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and South Africa. South Africa hosted the series. After fierce contests, the Indian team had to face defeat 2-3. That series proved to be helpful for the national Cricket Boards of both the countries in selecting
the squads for the ICC World Cup.
Though the Indian team has lost but it does not mean that their professional skills have abolished. The players are tense for the time being, but they hope to strike zealously in the World Cup. The blue shirts can still rise to thepeak of competency. They
can regain their lost momentum with a little diligence. Time is still in hand. The loss can be compensated with the profit that is waiting ahead.
