Dhoni Come On “Make it Large”

Dhoni  Come On “Make it Large”

When we stepped in  England the talk was about  interesting &  competitive  series , of course  Sachin’s  100^th century  equally attached to it. As the  series progressed  nothing  went  right for Team India, Dhoni  & Sachin also.  It has continued till one off T-20 match.  All our  stars crumbled  step by step  either by injury or by English batsmen and bowlers. The last  piece in the  form of One day series is opportunity  for  the Dhoni’s Team.  One Day  matches played in England has always been close encounters - the famous 2002 natwest  Final, in 2007 also  there were nail biters  when  Uthappa, Yuvraj  played  well to win the close matches & recently  the famous world cup tie though it was in India. 

So from where we  should start to think- Accept the fact that we have low scale bowling attack, batting is as always strong point when we step in for the batting  & fielding is better than the test team.  100^th Ton will ‘BOOST’ the confidence of Sachin , Let Ajinkya  play his own game in initial over, thank god we have Rahul Dravid who can dig the ‘ANCHOR’ in difficult situation. He understands his role very well. Kohli  need to put himself on ‘ FAST- TRACK ‘ , Rohit Sharma has to perform to prove himself as ‘NO.1 CHOICE ‘ to be in the team , Dhoni & Raina has to  stay at the crease  & one of the two has to carry himself  till 50^th over  and ensure we bat  50 over to ‘MAKE  IT LARGE’ ( The score).  

Pravin Kumar & Munaf can bowl  well in English condition,  R.P. Singh need to just  up his pace to  135-138 km/hr  which will give his deliveries sharpness as he uses the seam very well,   R. Ashwin suits  to One dayers  as he has more variety & control. Dhoni can himself bowl with Virat Kohli to mange the quota & If gamble is to be played then Mishra is a very good choice as he can even bat sensibly than our other lower orders. In first one day Dhoni has to go with five bowlers considering the lack of sting in our attack.   There is no point in crying that our players are injured, & we have depleted bowling attack.  There will never be an ideal situation, Select the available players & have some creative game plan to adjust the team line up.  Most importantly do not skip the fighting heart.

Now it’s time for Dhoni to  ask & answer himself  “ Have I Made It Large?”
