All in a happy and proud mood as india moves on a dream run over Srilanka to win a series. Ok good luck india. So coming to the subject, friends here is are mark of a player who had single highhandedly led india to an amazing victory.
Also played many vital knocks for India in the past around 2002-2005, mind you he bats no.7!So he is none other than mohammed kaif, and the victory is none other than the natwest series!Remembering or not. Please dug it out for a moment, the match were the Indian top order tumbled as it is in all important finals, and India facing the same result, there walked in the young kaif.
What happened next is history!Even the most mad fan of indian cricket team would not have thought of a victory then, answer me sincerely, how many of you switched off the tv when the 5th wicket was down for India that night?So now where is he? he is not getting a chance to play again and prove*himself, mind you that too for the last 2 years!
*So whats went wrong for him, he had been performing in the domestic cricket quite consistently in the last 2 years.and then why? Is that edge of love against him? Or is it the selectors becoming blind at him?So he is not deserving a chance?
And now you should think of other things, players like suresh raina, dinesh karthik, and even yuvraj singh had went through rough p[atches in their career, but they were given another chance, why dont kaif get?Coming on, regarding the Indian fielding.
Who could forget the crucial saves and catches he had made in the field to save matches fr India, undoubtedly he is the best fielder available in India at present.again in the test team as it is coming to an end the era of golden 4 who does India have to replace arahul dravid or avvs laxman in that prestigious middle order.who can hold that gap or fill the place that rahul dravid spotor that sheet anchor role he had played in Indian cricket.mind you kaif had got a test century in the west indies soil.
How many of the indian batsman now playing had that!Also he had been the performer for india in the test series that india played in 2004 against england and australia at home. So I think its time for the selectors to think of the replacements in that middle order especially in test mathes, and none other than an experienced guy like kaif should be the choice.so kaif could be the choice, he must be!
