Pumped up by a remarkable
unbeaten streak, the Indian cricket team's Director Ravi Shastri today said the
defending champions are well on course to lift the World Cup trophy for a
second successive time.
Dhoni statement :"It's a good position to
be in especially given that from now on, every game is a knockout. Once you
start winning, you enjoy and feel relaxed, it's when you lose that you want to
stay locked in the dressing room. Right now, the team is enjoying, they are
playing football, they are a happy unit," Shastri said.
Former Indian captain Sunil
Gavaskar echoed Shastri's views and credited the team's bowlers for raising
their game at the big platform.
"The bowlers deserve all the
credit. 50 wickets in five matches, it is a wonderful achievement. Lot of
times, the batsmen tend to overshadow them and they don't get credit but it is
nice to see the bowlers getting some credit," he said.
Talking about India's campaign,
Shastri said said the side, which came into the tournament after a disastrous
bilateral series against Australia, is quite confident of clinching the top
honours.
After beating Pakistan, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and the West Indies on a trot, India qualified for the quarter-finals from Pool B. Grounds in New Zealand are relatively smaller than in Australia where India have played all four matches so far, and the bowlers have to get adjusted to the dimensions.
“The consecutive 9th win of ODI made history for India which has create strong hold in the mind the team could do, all way to win whatever odd the situation is.
The best thing of this time is the fielding and perfect delivery of bowler which is helping to quickly pick up wickets and full form of whole team has helped to bring consecutive win till today since it started, this has helped to showcase India was preparing for the cup long since tri series and hardly win matches and England on the other hand which did good on tri series could not even qualify for quarter final
This time some player got chance to show they had ability which not so much prominent in previous team
