By hitting the final nail in the Kiwi’s coffin, India moved to the Number One position in the ICC rankings. First time ever in the history, India has reached number one position. By saying so, India has to keep winning to retain the position. The champions are called champions if they are able to retain the position and the real challenge now lies ahead of India to retain the title. It’s a moment of pride and honor for India.
Coming back to the match, it was a superb bowling effort by Ashish Nehra Ishant Sharma and Yuvraj Singh. It’s good to see Nehra back amongst the wickets. He is now a member of 100 wicket club. For a long time, he was stuck on 94 wickets. 6 wickets in 2 matches made him reach the landmark.
There seems to be something wrong with Jesse Ryder. He is known to be a smashing hitter of the cricket ball. Forget smashing balls out of the park, he is not being able to sustain for more than an over. In both the matches, he got out for a duck with out troubling the scorer. The scorer seems to be his friend; hence he does not want him to trouble him at all.
The Compaq cup is now a contest between India and Sri Lanka and our sincere wishes for India to win the Series and retain the title.
