Ind vs Aus T20 Cricket

Indian cricket team: No. 1 in Tests, No. 1 in T20Is, No. 2 in ODIs!

Indian cricket team comprises some of the finest batsmen from world cricket and only if bowlers can find some consistency, there is no reason why the Indian team cannot dominate world cricket across formats in years to come.

Virat Kohli-led India reclaimed the No.1 spot in Tests a while ago, Men in Blue became the top-ranked side in T20Is after a thumping 3-0 series win against Australia on Sunday.

It's great news ahead of ICC World T20 for India, as Team India dominated Australia in all the games of the three-match T20 series.

Despite losing the ODI series 1-4, Dhoni & Co are ranked No. 2 in ICC's ODI rankings. Dhoni was under tremendous pressure after losing the ODI series, which was India's third successive ODI series loss under his leadership, and the T20I series win has come as a huge relief for him as well as the team.

In Tests, even though India became the No. 1 side after England's series win over South Africa recently, there is no denying the fact that under Kohli's leadership, India performed brilliantly in 2015 where the Delhi batsman led India to two series' wins against Sri Lanka and South Africa.

MS Dhoni’s ‘great speech’ to Indian cricket team after whitewash: ‘Don’t slip from here’

MINUTES AFTER India blanked Australia for the first time in their backyard and topped the world T20 rankings, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni delivered a “great speech” in the dressing room, urging the team to “carry the same momentum” in the games leading to the T20 World Cup next month. 

“Post match, he gave a great speech, a motivational speech which lasted for more than 20 minutes,” a source told The Indian Express.

“He stressed on the importance of this series win and that India has never played cricket like this against Australia at their home. He said the batsmen have been on a great run and that everybody should know the importance of a whitewash. It was the first time many of them have seen such success and Dhoni wanted them to understand the significance of this series win,” said the source.

Dhoni stressed on building momentum from the 3-0 series win. “He told everyone that India should now take the advantage of the form into the coming series ? three T20s against Sri Lanka at home and the Asia Cup in Bangladesh. He doesn’t want the team to slip from here. He stressed that players should retain the same confidence in the next series. He wants to carry the same momentum,” said the source.

The T20 series was significant for Dhoni and the team after the 4-1 loss in the ODI series earlier, where his bowlers let him down and his form came under scrutiny. But the reversal of fortunes after the fourth ODI appears to have silenced Dhoni’s critics for the time being.

Team director Ravi Shastri, too, chipped in with a small speech, where he complimented the ‘tigerish’ spirit of the players.

“He told them that none of the past players, not even the greats of Indian cricket, could achieve what they have. He said that India played a hard brand of cricket against Australia and the team gave back in the language Australians understood. Shastri said that India has never played such cricket before and it will leave a great mark on world cricket. He said India was always looked upon as a team that did well in the sub-continent, but this team will change the mindset,” the source said.
