India left hopeless to its fans in SA ODI series...!!
It was a hope for all Indian cricket fans but in India Vs South Africa 4th ODI ended up in a "Damadol " condition . Our one time specialized ODI batsman Rohit Sharma again failed to prove his part of performance after given so many turns in ODI matches, notwithstanding that our sincere captain Dhoni has also ended up showing inability in batting as usual like the statistic says in last few matches, it was a surprising move by Dhoni playing a loose shot and leaving his team half way from the win.
Once the Mr. match changer Yuvi also seen struggling from his bad form and got out like an inexperience player in this match.
Rising Mr. Virat Kohili Delhi's hero "made the Match special" playing a fabulous innings once more making a buzz that he is the replacement of any middle order batsman in the team, it is a good sign for the team from the anticipated plan of performance for a reliable middle order batsman in coming Cricket World cup 2011.
Rain has played a major role in the match, though it could have been ended up with a result may be favoring either side, but the match left relied on Duckworth-lewis method at a very deciding point and India lost to South Africa by 48 runs.
Loose part of the match was again the poor opening partnership in the absence of Sehwag and Gambhir and the scattered middle order, specially our reliable batsman like Dhoni and Raina, when ever there is a need of their presence in the crease they disappoint the fans, any way we shouldn't have a regular expectation from Yusuf pathan in every break downed matches .
Moreover the chance to make a series win over South Africa in South Africa remained an in-concluded for Indian Team, the heat of the series is getting hotter by the time, the ownership of the Pie is undecided and remained a hope for Indian fans as well as South African fans, The Roar is getting louder and louder for the ownership of the series. lets keep our finger crossed and wait for the Final deciding day of the series.
