The match between India and West Indies, is looking energetic as the unbeaten India is heading for one more clinch in the World Cup event 2015, while the Caribbean team is looking strong with Gayle obviously and the experienced Smith, Samuels, Simmons, and Ramdin can add some more to the team.
The comments of Sir Viv Richards came across the Team India’s inconsistent bowling spirit and powerful batting department. “India is a powerful force at this point in time with three wins out of three matches. Its batting is always its strong point and it is looking good. Bowling is looking good too, as good as anything we have seen so far from them on this long tour," wrote Richards in a column for the International Cricket Council (ICC) website.
And the skipper of Windies team Jason Holder praised the leadership qualities of Indian Captain MS Dhoni. He said that he has picked up subtle nuances of leadership from Mahendra Singh Dhoni while playing for his IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings. "I've picked up a lot from Dhoni. He's a good leader. He's a guy who is respected in the dressing room,", said Holder.
India’s bowling is strong enough in reality, unlike the Richards’ view, as the pacer Shami and spinning power Ashwin can control the top order batsmen. Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar can manage to turn the match if the opposition team lacks confidence.
While the batting is maintaining its supremacy as Virat Kohli, Shikar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, and Rihit Sharma who can do double tons aggressively on any teams, playing in a perfect line up and innings.
However, Indian team is more potential to chase the targets and fix the targets to any team, which we have witnessed from the matches against South Africa, Pakistan and other minnows.
