Mystery Unclothed

Before beginning of 3rd test match in The Basin Reserve, I written blog “Mystery Or History In wellington”. Now, this puzzled solved yesterday with India sealing 3 match series 1-0. India broken 41 years jinx in The Basin Reserve. This series win in true manner record breaking in many way. Lots of records broken and new one created. M.S. Dhoni Become first wicket keeper to go on pass another Indian legend Kirmani with taking 6 catches in a inning, Rahul Dravid went pass Mark Waugh, to become highest catch taker in test, Gautam Gambhir is second opener to went pass India’s Batting Legend Sunil Gavaskar with making more than 2000 runs in 25 test.

As I had tagged in my last blog, Only God Save Kiwis, seems to be true on final day of 3rd test. Rain, came to rescue black caps from test defeats. When Indian were only short of 2 wickets from creating a history, rain started pouring down buckets. Finally umpires decided to called of test because of rain & murky weather.

Black Caps resumed their inning toady with determination to stay as long as possible on wickets to save test match. Taylor & Franklin shown responsibility and sincere efforts to save test. Taylor was instrumental in his knock of 107 runs, before falling to Harbhajan with a excellent Yorker. After that when nothing seems happening Dhoni decided to hand over ball to Tendulkar. Tendulkar Make Hey of this opportunity, with taking two crucial wickets of McCullum & Franklin. After That classic Off-spinner Harbhajan wiped off Southee took India 2 wickets away victory.

Overall this is a fruitful series for India. Everybody saying this is going to be a Acid Test foe Dhoni’s Men. Dhoni also needs to prove his captains skill in Kiwis land. But this new Indian team took this challenge and prove all critics wrong.
Players like Gambhir, Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Laxman, Dhoni, Zaheer, Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Ishant proved there metal. This new team shown all world that they can adjust to any condition and beat any side in world on any surface.
This is really good sign for Indian Cricket. Hope they will continues their winning strick in ICC T20 world cup in England also.
