India cricket team on top of its game

-
India are on the top of their game in the One day interantional by wining the prestigous champions trophy and also the tri series in West Indies. India played very well in each of games in the champions trophy held in England by winning all the matches staring from the Warm up match. The fielding was at his best , bowling was at its peak and batting great. The teams they played in the group stages were tough but they made easy work of their opponents and also in the semi final they trashed the Lankans in the Semi final by 8 wikcets. The Final between the Indian and England team was reduced to 20 over game due to rain. The batting failed but their bowlers and fielding was up to mark and won the finals by 5 runs to win trophy that dhoni did not have in his cabinet.

When they went to West Indies they lost 2 of their matches and then came back strongly to win the remaining of the 2 matches and entered into the finals. In the finals because of Dhoni heroics the team won by 1 wicket to win their 2 consecutive series. This would indicate that this is start of new era in Indian cricket. Hope that Indians become number 1 in test also.In all of this Shikhar Dhawan and Ravindra Jadeja were stars in CT and Bhuvi was star in the Tri series.
