INDIA ON THEIR WAY BACK – VIRU’S EXIT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING

India did quite well to start with in this game against England. They bowled well and restricted England to 153. Bringing in Jadeja was a good move. We can say so many things about what India could have done or not have done.

In my view, Viru’s exit was only the beginning and others are now following him. Indian top order never played and fired the way you are expected in T20 game. That has been the problem I think. Viru is the kind of opener is required for any team to win T20 game.

Chennai Super Kings Supporter Comment by Narendran Sivalingam on June 16, 2009 at 15:37: Yes, i strongly ugree. Veeru is a night mare to world class bowlers and he is a match winner at any stage....As a fan i really miss his miracle sixes and this cup because of our idiatic captain MSD.

Chennai Super Kings Supporter Comment by GOPAL KRISHNA REDDY on June 16, 2009 at 14:46: India and Pakistan only blow hot and cold air. Pakistan was best under Imran Khan and India was best under Kapil Dev. Now these teams are composed of show offs and has beens. SA on present form will thrash both teams. The present Pakistan side has only two players of note Yunus Khan and Umer Ghul. Abdul Razak needs little more time to come back to his best.

Chennai Super Kings Supporter Comment by Mohammad on June 16, 2009 at 10:56: Whole indian team is over confident and they all play ONLY and ONLY for fame and money not for the pride of the country. Indian team should'nt have played IPL or should have played only a part of IPL and would have taken rest (or whatever they call as refreshment) to get ready for world T20 championship. But NO they want money they dont want to lose money no matter how they perform for their country. Its all MONEY game.....

Deccan Chargers Supporter Comment by Md.Misbauddin on June 16, 2009 at 7:53: Bye Bye India it shame that india defending champions of last t20 worldcup was unable to reach even semi final i think dhoni should take the whole responsibilities of their performance in t20 worldcup & he should resign ffrom the captianship.

Deccan Chargers Supporter Comment by Mohd Riazuddin on June 16, 2009 at 6:40: Our team never looked like a single unit, cracks were obvious in the team, they have never played like a team once through out the tournament. Dhoni who was just riding high on his sheer luck and board's Ashirvaad, had no planned approach to the game, there was no need to have opted to bat second after winning the toss, winning toss has prooved to be very crucial in this format of the game. We went toplay the world cup with no plan on batting positions, thus kept experimenting with change in positions. It will not be incorrect to say that he is incapable of commanding respect in the team rather demands it out of his position and board's backing, need to be replaced, rather need to rest as we have found better wicket keeper batsman than him in IPL like Pandey.

Deccan Chargers Supporter Comment by Deccanfan on June 16, 2009 at 2:39: Rohit played great knocks for deccan coming down the order, he is great hooker and puller of the ball, his style of slogging suits when the ball is old. Gilchirist found out this and moved him from one down 4 down. he is best finisher of the game, dhoni should have known this

Deccan Chargers Supporter Comment by Deccanfan on June 16, 2009 at 2:36: when will raina come to form? we need rohit down the order not at top

Chennai Super Kings Supporter Comment by Kalyan on June 15, 2009 at 22:46: I strongly agree with the fact Yuvi should have been sent early .. But it doesnt really matter that Yuvi being sent in 3rd or 4th when we dont have a strong opening batsmen .. Rohit Sharma and Raina didn't add much to the total in both the matches played against West Indies and England ... And other major loss was Irfan Pathan .. As a fan i would really not suggest Ravindra jadeja to play anymore game of the T20 form ..

Wishing team India luck atleast for the future matches ..
