The previous year has seen an upsurge in the performance levels of the team .the reason is very simple that the team nomore depends upon the willow of tendulkar.this has been made possible with the induction of the fresh blood in the form of kaif , yuvraj.even our mr.dependable rahul dravid have now come to the forefront to assume lead role in guiding the team to the doors of victory.this infact has added a new dimension to the outlook of the indian cricket team as earlier indian batting line up used to start with tendulkar , used to revolve around tendulkar , and also used to end with the falling of tendulkars wicket .now even after the falling of the wicket of tendulkar the oppositon bowlers have a lot to sweat about.they say that the indian firelding has improved in leaps and bounds .but to the best of my assesment I dont find any great difference in the quality of ground fielding except of the newcomers who are in their early twenties.
