In the final of the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy, Indian Red’s skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vidarbha-c860 Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur.
The Reds so far are unbeaten in the tournament and will look to claim the trophy at the expense of their opponents. “It is going well for us as we won two games chasing and we don't want to do anything different," said Dhawan after winning the toss.
The opposition, led by Men In Blue's spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tirumalasetti-Suman-c2685, the off-break bowler.
“Any captain would have bowled first. We need to put runs on the board and try to defend whatever we get. I would want to see the middle order clicking and getting runs,” said the Turbanator.
The Reds have made three changes, with the most notable being the exclusion of their original skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, with the series starting tomorrow.
Other absentees for the Reds include left-arm pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jalaj-Saxena-c1632.
The pitch will be another belter of a track, assisting the batters in amassing big scores. The bowlers have so far found it difficult to stem the flow of runs, so variation will be crucial. Spinner will be the key only if they are willing to toss the ball up.
Although disappointed to have lost the toss, Harbhajan will find heart in the performance shown by his openers, especially http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-Uthappa-c2356, who has been their highest-run getter in the tournament, with a half-century against their current opponents in the first match and a stupendous knock of 132, which helped the team to qualify for the finals.
With key personnel missing for the Reds, the upper hands remains with the Green, however, one expects a run-fest.
