Suresh Raina comes of age

ndian sympathisers are happy about the rise of Raina. After scoring a hundred against Hong Kong, he scored 84 with five sixes. Sehwag powered India to victory with a brilliant hundred. Pakistan played well for 299 and India scored 301/4 ! Gambhir was out cheap and a massive 198 partnership between Sehwag and Raina saw India home. Yuvraj took this time to come into form and blasted 3 mighty sixes! Earlier, Malik's brilliant 125 was in vain !

IPL changes the face of Indian Cricket !

Look at the way India is playing. Gambhir and Sehwag and all teams are now afraid of India ! One commentator said within 2 years, India will be one of the best teams in the world. He will be proved right. Indian swing bowlers bowled well and India posted a seven wicket win. It was not surprising !

India win by 140 runs !

Indian players, fresh from IPL, showed their class. It is a mind game and the Pakis were definitely defeatist. Sehwag and Gambhir put on 155 runs for the first wicket, continuing their incredible form with the bat, IPL style. IPL has done a lot of good to Indian Cricket ! Within one or 2 years, India will be one of the best teams in the world ! PIyush Chawla, another IPL find, took 4 wickets ! Even though Yousuf and R Sharma disappointed, it was a totally different Indian team. S Raina hit 2 sixes and Dhoni also played his part. Yuvraj scored another 50 ! Praveen Kumar took 4 wickets, including the first 3! He moved the ball both ways and was a threat to the Paki batsman. Except for Shoaib Malik, none of the Paki batsmen impressed.
