This is all I was waiting for since we lost to bangladesh at the world cup. The Mirpur test victory of India has proved that Indian Team was down, but not out. This test victory certainly gives the team
a lot of boost for the upcoming series of England where they play 3 tests and 7 one dayers. They also play a tri-nation ODI tournament in Ireland in the same tour. South Africa and ireland being the other two teams.
This is the biggest win for India in test cricket and quite an impressive one too. India didn’t need to bat the second time. A win by an innings and 239 runs proved to the world that World Cup loss of India is now forgotten and the Indian Team has moved ahead. With Dave Whatmore stepping into the coache’s shoes in a couple of weeks and all the top batsmen in prime form it will be a tough task for England to deal with the Indian Batsmen.
Another plus point is the ever improving performance of Zaheer Khan after his comeback. This Man and Sourav gangully have proved yet again that ‘Where there is a Will, There is a Way’.
Anil Kumble also is a very closely watched entity for the tour. Ramesh Powar, RP Singh and VRV singh will probably complete the bowling attack. Munaf Patel will join too, but that depends on the fitness test.
Coming back to the Mirpur Test, Zaheer was named man of the match. Sachin proved again that there is a lot of cricket left in him and he was named Man of the Series.
