I News India - Empowering Ideas!

Hey friends, I am creating this post for you people to wish a warm Best of Luck to the Team India. As you all are aware that 12 cricket playing nations India, Bangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, England, Netherlands, Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sctland are going to fight for the World Cup in the Twenty 20 cricket format which is beginning today at England.

As you all are aware that Team India is the defending champions and other 11 countries are going to challenge them for the trophy. India is placed along with Bangladesh and Ireland in the Group A, while Pakistan, England and Netherlands are placed together in Group B. The most toughest group of the tournament is the Group C which contains Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies, while the Group D is containing New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland.

At the moment Team India is looking highly capable of retaining the Title. The team at the moment is a bunch of some highly talented youngsters along with some multi talented guys and captained by the Mr. Cool M. S. Dhoni. If you look at the top order then dashing opener Virender Sehwag is there with much talented Gautam Gambhir. This opening pair is the best of all the teams which are playing there. If you give an eye on the middle order then you can truly find India as the World Champions. Middle order of team India is having the firepower in the form of the King of Six Yuvraj Singh, most attacking batsman Suresh Raina, very dependable Rohit Sharma and the skipper himself. Along with them the team has the superb all rounders like Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Irfan Pathan. Now if you see the bowling attack then it too have the balance which is very much required for a World Champions team, the seam attack department is there in the hand of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, highest wicket taker in the IPL 2009 Rudra Pratap Singh and much reliable Praveen Kumar, and then the spin attack is there in the hand of Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha. Remember the team has two batsman who can bowl brilliantly at crucial time, I am talking about Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma, Both has shown their talents in the IPL 2009 by taking the hat-trick in the tournament. Yuvraj Singh took 2 hat-tricks while Rohit Sharma took 1. Now if your team is having these type of players how can you assume them not to retain the trophy. Only thing which can damage the performance of the team India is the overconfidence, which they will have to take care of.

So friends, here is the space where you can wish the best of luck to your favorite Team India especially in your own style. You can post the comment here and this will show them how much you love them and how much you care about the world champions.

The year 2009 has arrived and when we will look behind to the year 2008, we will find these as the main events of the year 2009 for India.

First One: Nuclear Deal.

Indo-US Nuclear Deal has for the first time proved that national welfare has more value than the political selfishness. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was so keen to pass this bill that he never considered about his own government. Later he got the support of the Parliament too. Finally India got the strong friendship of United States. India got the inclusion in the N-Club along with the regular energy supply.

Second One: Mumbai Terror.

New form of world wide terror, 26/11 strikes to India in Mumbai. Despite providing lots of proof of the involvement of the Pakistani based terrorists organization’s hand behind this attack, Pakistan is not at all agreeing to the claim of the Indian Government. Year 2008 provided some big hole in the security system of the nation, Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmadabad, Delhi, Guwahati and then Mumbai taught some lesson to the security forces. People from different states came together and forced to the government to take some serious step against terrorism and to change the attitude.

Third: India on Moon.

Indian scientists got the huge success of the accomplishment of the mission moon. The cheapest and the best mission to the moon were named as Chandayaan I. This established India into the super powers of the world. India is now ready to provide the cheaper space program to other countries too, and ISRO is planning to launch the manned mission to the Moon very soon.

Fourth: Aarushi Murder Case.

One sad incident of the murder of Aarushi in her own house despite the presence of her parents in the house in Noida is still unsolved. This murder case got the biggest attention of the media; still CBI is unable to solve the case.

Fifth: Assembly Elections.

Termed as the Semi-Final of the parliamentary elections which is scheduled in the year 2009, the assembly elections in Manipur, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir proofed that Democracy is the back bone of the country. People came out to vote even despite the “Boycott” of the elections by some unwanted forces in J&K. Performance of the governments became the major criteria during these elections.

Sixth: Flood in Bihar.

The development of the Bihar Government during last four years was washed away in the flood. The problem was not so much tragic as the situation was. Attitude of the people caused more problems to the people who suffered during the flood situation. We need to change our system to tackle the situation.

Seventh: Fall of the Share Market.

The impact of the global market fall was so big that it reached to the Mumbai Stock Exchange too. Sensex falls deeply and this caused affect on the job sector too. Real Estate, Aviation, became the victim of the slow down. Finally India is thinking about how to recover from this impact.

Eight: First Individual Gold Medal in Olympics.

The biggest dream of India came true this year. Abhinav Bindra clinched first ever individual Olympic gold medal for India in the men’s 10m air rifle shooting. Other than him, Vijendra Kumar and Sushil Kumar too came up with medals and India is now taking the other sports (other than cricket) seriously. Jitender Kumar too won the heart of the fans.

Ninth: Lessons on Cricket Ground.

India virtually became the super power in the field of cricket too. India got the new captain in all the format of cricket in the form of M. S. Dhoni. India performed quite well in the three formats of cricket T20, ODI and Tests too. Some of the seniors like Saurav Ganguly and Anil Kumble retired this year.

These are the main incidents of the year 2008 which happened in India.

As we all know that Team India won in the second cricket test match in Border-Gavaskar trophy. They defeated Australia the number 1 team in test cricket by a huge margin of 320 runs. We are here by preparing a list of seven lime lights of the test match.

1. 12K runs by Sachin: The master blaster of Indian cricket, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar made 88 runs in the first inning of India and he became the highest run getter in the history of test cricket. Also check the 10 glorifying moments of his career! He crossed the land mark made by Brian Lara of West Indies. At the end of the match he has more than 12,000 runs in his bag.


Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly

2. 7K runs by Ganguly: He was once considered as the best captain of India. A bit of politics in cricket and Greig Chappel caused him his place in the team. Finally he get the place in the team but became so frustrated that he decided to quit the cricket after this series. And in this series his bat is talking with all those people who were criticizing him earlier. He made a superb century in the first inning and due to that he made more than 7000 runs in test cricket. It was not a small feet, but still he decided not to revert back his decision of quitting cricket. I News India salutes the “Dada”, we always supported him during his bad phase too.


Maya of Dhoni and a different Bhajji

3. Maya of Dhoni: He is the guy who has changed the form of Indian cricket, he brought it from the aged person to the younger ones. Under his captaincy India won the T 20 world cup one year back and after that whichever match he captained gave India something to cheer about. He is a bit lucky too, considered by a huge section in India. We still remember the match against South Africa in this year, in which he got the captaincy due to the sickness of the regular skipper Anil Kumble and India won that match. Even today India won the match in which he was the captain. This is the Maya of Dhoni. The two attacking half centuries are superb and those gave him the Man of the Match.


The best Indian opening pair of Viru and Gauti

4. Opening pair of India: Viru and Gauti, the opening pair of India is these days considered as the best ever opening pair for India. These two have played lots of cricket together and they love to play together. In One Days too they are being considered as the best and now in test too. The 182 runs stand between these two in the second inning of this test was really brilliant, while the pitch was offering help to the bowlers. Sehwag though failed to convert 90 into 100, but Gambhir get the second test century of his life.


Superb Ishant Sharma

5. Superb Ishant Sharma: This school guy has troubled one of the best batsman of the world, Rickey Ponting. He made the hat-trick of dismissing him in test cricket. He is doing the same thing which Bhajji did in the previous tours of Australia in India. Since his debut in the national team from the January of this year he is continuously creating problem for Rickey Ponting. During this match he dismissed Ponting in both the innings and that caused problem to Aussies, while they are also facing the failure of Mathew Hayden in the series.
6. A different looking Bhajji: We still remember the slap controversy in IPL 2008. That incident has changed our main bowler Harbhajan Singh. He is looking more polite and attacking on the field after that. Yesterday he dismissed the top three batsman on Aussies and that caused them the match. He was not so much successful in the drawn first test match, while he devastated the Aussies second inning. The fall of the batsman like Hayden, Katich and Hussey caused them the match. Now he is one short to the 300 test wickets.


Amit Mishra a good beginning

7. Amazing Amit Mishra: He was not in news before this match and he performed brilliantly in the match. He took 5 wickets in the very first inning of his life and that is also against the number 1 team of world. That was superb, and awesome. Indian team management will have to face a bit more problem now in choosing the playing 11. Whom will they remove, Kumble, Mishra or Bhajji?

It was a team effort and other than these guys Zaheer Khan too did well, along with good contribution from all the players of the team, especially Rahul Dravid. So overall it was a all OK match for team India and now they are looking ahead to defeat Aussies in the series. Best of luck to team India. We would be happy to see the comments of our readers on this match. Also you can take a look at the Cricket Updates for the match reports.
