India Vs Australia T-20 series:The key takeaways

India vs Australia T-20 series starts from 7 October.After a predicted comfortable victory in the ODI series it would be interesting to see the result in the T-20 series.This blog is about the team for this series and series prediction.


After the one sided ODI series the Australians must be trying to bounce back in the T-20 series.The Indian team has got a couple of changes in the T-20 team.Ajinkya Rahane has been sent back and Shikhar Dhawan has been included in the team.Dinesh Kartik has been included in the team.Finally a n excellent performance in the domestic cricket has been appreciated by the selectors.This is a very nice pick.The selectors have given a message to other players that if you are performing well at the domestic matches,you would be rewarded.Also Ashish Nehra or fondly called "Nehra ji" has been included in the side.What a journey has it been for Nehra ji,from 12 surgeries back to the team,one needs some courage to do so.
Several good players were kept out from the team for this series.Yuvraj Singh has been kept out of the team.This is pretty shocking.To keep a player like Yuvraj out of the team is not an intelligent move.He certainly should have been in the team.Suresh Raina has also been missed out.He also should have been given a chance.Various sources say that he was not able to pass he fitness test.Keeping Raina out for any other reason is not something an intelligent selection committee would do.Rishabh Pant has also been kept out of the team.Ithink think this talented young player should be given more chances.One bad performance against West Indies should not be the basis for keeping Pant out.
Finally I believe there is lot to achieve from this series.Firstly India is no.1 in Test and One Days hence no.1 position in T-20 should be something that India should keep an eye.I believe India should win this series.But because of the unpredictability and the Australian side we know.I do not think it would be an one sided encounter.The Aussies are expected to bounce back.Hence 2-1 is my pick from this series.

Who is better Sachin or Virat?

The hot Question since past three years is Who is a better player Sachin or Virat?                              Sachin Tendulkar                                                        Virat Kohli Well its not easy to compare two people of two different generations but it still can be done because of the fact that both of them have played with each other for good 3-4 years. Lets compare both of them on different aspects-: 1.       Time periods :  When we compare the periods when these two played then they are extremely different. Sachin made his debut at a time when India was emerging as a cricketing country, when we were not the best in any of the things. Sachin came as a hope as to we could say that we hav...

Can Indian Hockey bring back its golden days?

The national game of India has been out of color for past few years.The big question is can hockey (Indian mens hockey)bring back its golden days in India. Hockey is a game in which India has dominated in the past. In fact India holds the record of maximum number of gold medals in the game of hockey.The days of Dhyan Chand were absolutely golden for India as India has no match at that time.India has won a staggering 11 olympic medals including 8 gold,1silver and 2 bronze medals.But after 1980 things have not been good for Indian hockey and after 2000 India has been facing problems in even qualifying for the Olympics. The major reason for this drop is the change of rules.Hockey earlier was played on plain grounds.But after the introduction of Astro Turf grounds,the game becoming fast,Dominance of European countries in the administration made things worse for India.Not only did Indian hockey lost tournaments but it also lost its popularity from India.Another big reason for this...
