India put up a good show in the last two ODI’s played against England. It followed the recent triumph over Pakistan in ODI’s. India has made tremendous progress under the able captaincy of Rahul Dravid and professional coaching by Greg Chappell. The number of matches, which the youngsters won for India, illustrates the changing scenario. Whenever the big guns of team India botched, the youngsters have seized the opportunity and have delivered for India. The likes of Irfan Pathan, M.S. Dhoni, Sreeshant and Suresh Raina have showed mettle and will be part of the India’s plans for world cup, next year. Signs are good for India because, the team is still not feeling the void created by the absence of Sachin, Ganguly and Srinath. The team at present has a formidable batting line-up and a promising young bowling line-up. Once the team plays to their full potential, it can give any team a run-for-their-money and bad dreams.
