At last Indian Cricket Team have broken the jinx. It took 15 years to get a win in test match outside the subcontinent. In the subcontinent last year India defeated Bangladesh in Dhaka and in 1993 India defeated Srilanka in Colombo. But second test in Harrare and triangular series are still to come.
After match fixing scandal Md.Azharuddin and Ajoy Jadeja are dropped from the team. Anil Kumble was injured. It was very difficult to keep balance of the team. For Zimbabwe tour fast bowlers dominated bowling attack was preferred. Thow India defeated Australia in test series in the home and lost one day series .Certainly it is splendid job to win a series from a team like Australia. But it is not new to the Indian to defeat any country in home soil.
Bulwayo’s victory certainly a mile stone in Indian Cricket and obviously have started a new era. Every members of the team have contributed but Zimbabwe is not a strong team. For South Africa tour India have to build up strong batting line up for bouncy wicket. Ramesh is not technically sound. Selectors should try to get a suitable partner for Shibsundar Das. Sourav is the captain and bad patch never continue for a long period. It is sure selectors will not give him further chance. Rahul Dravid is breathing in his neck.
