Well played Gambhir and Kohli. Fantastic knocks! :banana2 We should win from here, hopefully.

Wow! excellent! did this dot happen every time.


Gambhir the man :cool:



Kohli

 

[naresh091]

Good win.Good to chase a mammoth target without impact players such as Dhoni and Yuvraj.

Good series win for India . Good innings by Virat Kohli and nice to see Gautam Gambhir back in form in ODI's. I think Virat Kohli is poised to take Suresh Raina's place when Yuvraj comes back.

Fantastic FABULOUS AND EXCELLENT!!!! I have always wanted Kohli to convert his talent into performance and he has finally done it big time with a hundred. But the new rock star of Indian cricket, GAUTAM GAMBHIR has just proved how big an influence he has become for us in the last two-three years. Both came in when we were in trouble and the wicket had good bounce and carry for the bowlers (though the dew made it tough for the spinners to grip).

Good series win for India. With Kohli's performance, our bench gets a lot more healthier. Wish they try out Manoj Tiwary in the next match in place of Sachin Tendulkar (Tiwary for Sachin, Dhoni for Karthik and Tyagi for Ishant). Boost up the bench further.

That will be hard. Raina has been pretty good enough with the bat and has been excellent on the field (apart from being a useful part time option). Kohli is not as good as Raina on the field (although he is excellent too) and his bowling is nowhere close to Raina's. But Kohli will be far more reliable than Raina on pitches abroad because Raina has the big short pitched problem.

Raina has averaged something like 32 in his last 15 matches. He needs to step it up.

Not as historic as that Natwest win, but this win is special on its own because it has unearthed a very exciting talent in Kohli and we chased such a huge target without our best ODI players Dhoni and Yuvraj.

I am eager to see Tyagi and Tiwary in the next game. Please build our bench strength guys. I wont mind if Dhoni rests himself for the next game too and getting himself ready for Bangladesh.

So, we've sealed the series, eh? Nice going by our boys! KUTGW. Now we finally have something to celebrate, after a string of sorry performances in the One Dayers. It's a great feeling!

Raina has averaged something like 32 in his last 15 matches. He needs to step it up.

He comes in at 6. What do you expect. When he has overs to bat he scores. He did it against Australia, and then recently in the match Dhoni got a century.

That's not the only reason I want him to be replaced by Kohli though. I just don't trust him outside the subcontinent.

Gauti, what a man! What a magnanimous gesture! He didn't share his MOTM award or something with Virat. He gave away his MOTM prize and award to Virat. What a way to motivate your teammate. Proud of you Gauti :hpraise:hpraise:hpraise:hpraise

 

[SaiSrini]

Well done by Gauti to share the MOM award with Virat Kohli (who I thought deserves it more because this is his first hundred and more crucial for him than Gambhir).
