Despite losing the T20 series, the Indian team is upbeat ahead of the first ODI match against South Africa in Kanpur. Some of the top players know that their team was close to winning the first T20 match of the series and lost a bit of momentum in the second, but the overall state of the team is good.
The hosts are ready for any kind of challenge. This team, under the able leadership of MS Dhoni, is leaving no stone unturned to come out even stronger in the ODI series.
Team director Ravi Shastri has already admitted that the Indian team would be a better side after the South African series. The best thing about this team is the presence of MS Dhoni at the helm of things.
“Dhoni is one of the all-time greats of the world. Our boys are playing under a champion,” Shastri was quoted as saying just before the T20 series began against South Africa.
In more than two years, Dhoni’s team won the Champions Trophy, played the last World T20 final and were also semi-finalists during the 2015 World Cup. Yes, these bilateral matches at home are important, but what you produce in the big tournaments is all that matters.
Earlier, India lost to Bangladesh and lost to other international teams, but don’t expect India to win all the time. With so much cricket being played in recent times, no one is a clear favourite here.
