ODI Cricket! New Zealand Scores First Ever Series Win in India!

New Zealand , among other teams visiting India , made the Indian spinners look useless once again on their own home turf .

ODI Cricket! New Zealand Scores First Ever Series Win in India!


New Zealand, among other teams visiting India, made the Indian spinners look useless once again on their own home turf. The coach keeps on wearing that ominously 'gambhir' countenance, but is hardly 'gambhir' about such core issues. Such is his obsession with all-rounders! Anyway, congratulations to the young NZ team for registering their first ever ODI Series win in India, after the previous consecutive 7 Series losses, and following it up with their first ever Test Series win on Indian soil about a year back! The way Daryl Mitchell played is inspirational for all cricketers; he kept consistently on building partnerships with Will Young one time and with Glenn Philips the next. Bravo! 

Alas! Gone are the good old days when Virat Kohli hit a ton Team India used to win the match hands down! Alas! Team India superstar flamboyant batsmen or most of them continue, however, to fail in crunch matches when a win means a Series point! 

High time Head Coach Gautam Gambhir understands that his coveted all-rounders can deliver only freak feats occasionally, if at all! For example, what exactly is Ravindra Jadeja doing in his supposedly young team filled to the brim with youngsters with all-round abilities? Why is Bumrah rested again and again? Why is Shami ostracized? He must remember the upcoming T20 World Cup is not the only challenge (IPLalized?), for the ODI World Cup also looms large early next year! Hark!
