(Kya) Hum Honge Kaamyab....

Vengeance, Revenge, Badlaa…
Name this series whatever you wish to. Definitely all the fans would have this feeling when this series starts. 4-0, 1-0, 4-0… just like a Tennis match, loss in straight sets. India was comprehensively beaten in the “Queen’s Land” not far ago. Now, the Queen’s Lads have come to India with same intent - to conquer the Team India.

Again our team is missing its star-rated players. England will start from where they had left Team India, with full strength army plus KP, the transformer. Considering the way they have been playing in recent times, and comparing with Team India’s freshers’ group, the needle of advantage is pointing towards Queen’s Eleven. However, as far as records are concerned, The Queen’s Eleven have always struggled on Indian pitches, and with recent hammering, they are aware that India will surely try to fight them hard. All the one-day battles in England were of close finish. Let’s hope the same trend will continue here, with at least one tie…! And this time, rains won’t come to help them.

We have just come out of the ‘Champions League’, marketed as Battle of the Champions. Thankfully, not many of the Indian players were involved till the end. (Dhoni had asked for the rest from first two matches against England. Why didn’t he take proper rest from last two matches of the Champions’ League? (Now that’s a million dollar question..!)) And also have a look at the new blend Indian Team. New bowling unit in the form of fast bowler Varun Arun, Leggie Rahul Sharma will be interesting and good bench strength for the future. Rahane has already proved his talent with gutsy performance in England. Given a chance, Manoj Tiwari will also come to know the difference between League and International fixture. Considering the Big Battle down under starting from the month of Dec’11, it’s a good decision by the selectors because in Australia, one need to be mentally rock-solid, not only to handle the chinnnnnn Music, but also typical Mental Disintegration theory..

For Dhoni, he would like to consider the year 2011 as with 9 months only, because he had never experienced the failure as big as three white wash in single series.

But as Shahrukh says “Hamari jindagi mein filmo ki tarah end me sab kuchh theek ho jaata hai, aur.. agar theek naa bhi ho toh woh ‘the end’ nahi hai…. Kyon ki picture abhi baaki hai mere dost…..!”
Similarly, for Dhoni, “The series loss in England was not the end ...
Kyon ki Series abhi baaki hai mere dost…..!”

Let’s see “Kya Hum Honge Kaamayab…”
