India Cricket - Youngsters doing a good job but India cannot ignore the senior players
India defeated the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 yesterday by a handsome margin of seven wickets in the second One Day International (ODI) of the five match series at the Port of Spain, Trinidad. As a result, the world champions lead the series 2-0 with three matches left.
Although, West Indies is no more ranked as one of the better teams of the world but this is a commendable performance by this young Indian team in the absence of their senior players.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 were ruled out of the West Indies tour due to their
respective injuries.
We can effectively consider this as India’s second string team which is full of players who are expected to serve the Indian team in future.
The world champions have proved once again that they are best at producing quality batsmen as the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parthiv-Patel-c2159 have looked at ease in international cricket during the ODI series so far.
These are the players who usually do not get the chance to prove their mettle in Test cricket. So these are great signs for Indian cricket and its future.
Rohit played a match winning knock in the first ODI and looked like a mature batsman after a bad start to the innings. He is considered as one of the most talented young Indian batsmen and if he can hold his own in international cricket, he can bear the
burden of Indian batting for many more years to come.

Warne said, “Rohit Sharma has got all the talent in the world, if he could just get his mind right and get his attitude right. If his (Sharma) one thought was I want to become the best cricketer I possibly can. He could be a match-winner, world beater and
one of the best Indian cricketers ever; he has got that much talent.”
Leg spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871 has also impressed one and all with his variations and a big heart as he is never afraid to toss the ball up even if the batsmen are trying to attack him. He is a wicket-taker and possesses the ability to give crucial breakthroughs
to his team in the middle overs, which always helps the bowling team to halt the scoring rate. India’s spin bowling future is in safe hands with the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 and Mishra.
India surely has a rich pool of talented batsmen but same is not the case in the fast bowling department. Historically, India has always been strong in the batting department and it is quite evident that the world champions are going take this trend forward
in future as well.
There is no doubt that the youngsters are doing a good job, however, India would still need its senior players against stronger oppositions as the likes of Dhoni, Gambhir, Sehwag and Yuvraj have a lot of cricket left in them. Big players are required for
big occasions and there is no reason why India should ignore its senior players who have brought a lot of laurels for the country in last four years.
