To start with I am blogging about cricket after long time. I did not get much time recently to watch or follow sports, I do not have a TV at home since almost 3 years anyways, that is intentionally to make sure I do not sit in front of it all day. However, I do go to malls or friends place sometimes to catch any important sports events.
India just white washed the Lankans 5-0 at home in the ODI series. What happened prior to it was West Indies cut down their tour to India and left midway due to some issues with their cricket board. The Lanakans were called in, and as always they did not disappoint. New records were created, and all the Indian batsman struck golden form, just in time for the tour of Australia and the world cup henceforth.
Dhoni did not play this series, he was rested, Kohli led the team, and he lead the team in style. Not only did he himself continued his good form, but the whole team played woderfully well. All the batsmen chipped in, the highlight of the series undoubtedly was Rohit Sharma's record breaking 264 run innings, he beat Sri Lanka by 13 runs in that match.
The bowlers all did their part. India look to have found good combination with regards to bowling when they go down under. Also Kohli has matured to be a good captain, chances are Dhoni may retire after the world cup down under, India is covered in that department I belive. My only concern is the batting down under, there is not a definite that the batsmen will perform as well away as they do at home, let's keep our fingers crossed!!
