It was around four manths back, when the Men in Blue were crowned the world champions when they thrashed Lankans in the final at revamped Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It was a proud moment for MS Dhoni and his men to carry the World Cup and do the 'thank you' run along the stadium. The day since Dhoni, the man from Ranchi, who had a rather dashing entry into the world cricket, was named captain of the Indian side, led the talented bunch of cricketers with some extraordinary cricketing brain and the luck factor. It seemed that the Lady Luck always kept smiling on Mahi for his men had 'wrested' many victories which otherwise were not so easy for the team. Since he busted into the cricketing scene, he was termed as the destiny's child and never faced 'failures' in his sporting life.
However, the ongoing England series has a contrast story to tell. The same bunch of cricketers who carry the world champions tag, had been literally searching for victories. The Englishmen seems to have beaten Indians on all fronts, be it batting, bowling, fielding, on and off field tactics as well as luck. While some members from the Team India had been 'unlucky' as far as their dismissals on the field is concerned, thanks to UDRS, the others have been fighting to stay fit during the series as they have been niggling certain injuries.
Despite all these happenings, the Captain Cool is trying to maintain his calm and has been putting up a brave front while leading a 'depleted' side that consists of some talented bunch of youngsters who have been knocking the Indian team's doors for the past many years now. And added to this is the inclement weather that has been playing spoilsport in the Team India's chances in the Queen's land. Captain Dhoni must be pondering as to what exactly is going wrong and finding out ways to tackle the issues. He much please the Lady Luck again so as to be on the winning groove and give millions of cricekt crazy Indians something to cheer about. That's the way Mahi.
