41 years victory drought in New Zealand ends

Dhoni's men did what no other Indian cricket team did for the last 41 years in New Zealand( NZ).Yes! Dhoni's team went, saw and conquered the lion in it's own den. Team India won the one day series 3-1 and also won the three test match series 1-0. It could well have been 2-0 had not the rain Gods taken pity on NZ.

NZ was always a nemesis for the Indian team. The cold and blustery wind and the seaming pitches were always a matter of extreme discomfort for the Indians in earlier years. But the present team didn't carry any baggage of the yesteryears and went with an attitude to win. True, the pitches in NZ this time were more like sub-continent stuff except in Wellington where it was cold and gusty winds and the NZ team looked like a 'work in progress' side.But our batsmen and bowlers did their part to perfection in grinding the opposition to the dust.

Team India is well on it's way to staking a claim for the No.1 spot in world cricket. All they have to gaurd against is a feeling of complascency. Under " captain cool' Dhoni, one believes that the No.1 spot is not very far off.

Best Wishes
