India- The batting powerhouse

For the past 6 to 7 months the Indian batting has been scoring or chasing runs with so much confidence. In ODI's the Indian team comprised the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar first man to score   a double ton in ODI Laxman, Virender Sehwag and others but the youngsters these days are able to chase down the scores with so much confidence. Shikhar Dhawan who made his test debut scored a ton and then he played crucial role by scoring 2 centuries, Virat Kohli who is special talent has been instrumental in chasing big scores, Raina an attacking batsman, Yuvraj an explosive player, Dhoni a great finisher. The Indian team have the record of chasing 300+ total 13 times. I think these batsman know how to change the gear and make the match out of a game which is slipping.

The recent form of Virat Kohli has been superb in this year scoring over 1000 runs with some match winning innings. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma opening partnership has laid a good foundation for the explosive players to score runs at quick pace.If the wickets fall MS dhoni the captian of Indian team can play very well and at the end can play the helicopter shots which go the distance. In 2012 when India has to chase 320 in 40 overs Virat Kohli made easy work of the target and chased it in 36.2 overs, another instance of batting superpower is when India had to chase 340 in 50 overs kohli played a great knock of 183. I think the change of rule is helping the batsman.

In the current Aussies series the Indian batting team has chased 350+ target twice in 10. In these two innings Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan was the main scorer. This shows that batting depth of this Indian team is so strong that the opponent team cannot relax until getting the top 6 out.

Dhoni is a match winning player who are so good of chasing the target. The attitude of the Indian team has changed completely, 5 to 6 year ago when the opponent team scores 350+ the Indian team thinks that the match is over but now days the youngsters think that any score is chasable. The test match batting has also changed.

Shikhar Dhwan batting ability is special , scoring quick fire centuries especailly when the team requires. In a list A ODI 287 runs is great achievement, since Rohit Sharma moved into the opening position he has succeeded so much. I think India deserves the number 1 ranking in ODI's.

The main problem of the team is their bowling, leaking so much runs but the Indian batting powerhouse has confidence to chase down big scores. This team has taken batting to a different level. Brilliant, unbelievable, the ability tackle the opponent bowlers, no negative thoughts, self confidence is special quality in this team.

The Indian team has won 4 consecutive series in trying circumstance, in England where nobody thought that this team would they won it, against Engalnd in India 3-2, winning the tri series in West Indies and in Zimbabwe.

This team is so different from the other team. I think the next best to India is West Indies who have gayle, Bravo, Pollard. I think if they play like this for next year , the Indian team can win the 2015 World cup.
