5 Things India Needs To Do Right To End Up On The Winning Side

5 Things India Needs To Do Right To End Up On The Winning Side: The first ODI between India and Bangladesh brought forth one of the most unexpected results in recent times. Many expected India to brush aside the 7th ranked ODI team with ease, but what unfolded took many by surprise. Bangladesh thumped India with the help of their pace attack that stumped the Indian batsmen, which resulted in a convincing and a demoralizing defeat for India. India must pick themselves up abruptly else Bangladesh are just one win away from wrapping up the series. Now let us take a look at the 5 Things India Needs To Do Right To End Up On The Winning Side. 1. Dhoni must unleash his aggressive batting style: MS Dhoni.

But of late, his performances have markedly dipped, more so because of his stonewalling tactics and defensive play with the bat. Dhoni must play his natural game to if India were to succeed in their endeavors in the next game. Dhoni averages 100 plus w hile chasing and many experts wax lyrical about Dhoni as the best finisher in the modern game’s limited overs format. Dhoni has proved himself time and time again and this time too he has to stamp his authority as an elite player in the format and come out all guns blazing. The helicopter has to be unbridled as soon as possible! 2. Stuart Binny must be included in the side: Stuart Binny.

It would be unwise to persist with Sharma further and MS Dhoni must add Binny into the ranks in place of him. Stuart Binny has the record of registering the best ever bowling figures for India in ODI’s. And it came against Bangladesh last year, when took six wickets and gave away just a paltry 4 runs and succored India to defend a score of 105 in a fifty over game. Despite being the squad, Binny has been warming the benches for so long and is the need of the hour for India. Stuart Binny is a very useful player with the bat as well and can bludgeon a few blows at the end. 3. Virat Kohli needs to find his mojo back: Virat Kohli.

He has registered scores of 1, 1 and 3 in the last three innings and is not quite finding his groove. A dependable player and the pillar of Indian batting, Kohli needs to find his mojo back and come good with a bat wielded in his hand the next match. Virat Kohli needs to make appropriate amends to his batting technique. Even though he has some minor shortcomings in his technique, his unrivaled self esteem more often than not indemnifies for it. So Virat firsts needs to focus hard and get his confidence back. His form also arises questions that he is wilting under the pressure and expectations. 4. Indian pacers must come good: Umesh Yadav.

The pace duo of Bhuvaneshwar and Umesh Yadav didn’t quite click and were taken to the cleaners by the Bangladeshi batsmen. The pace duo is a very lively blend of swing of Bhuvi and the fiery pace of Umesh but unfortunately they didn’t seem to make any impact on the game. Bhuvaneshwar must make supreme use of the new ball while Umesh must improve his death bowling. The duo of Mustafizur and Taskin was the main reason for Bangladesh’s victory and the Indian must try to emulate or better the Bangladeshi’s performances. 5. Jadeja’s form: Ravindra Jadeja.

But recently he hasn’t been able to repay the faith that Dhoni has on him and has leaked far too many runs with the ball and has performed very ordinarily with the bat too. Jadeja’s bowling nowadays is easily surmised and has become predictable. He normally bowls a very good stump to stump line but of late has wavered and has offered no promising signs. He has the propensity and the skill both with the bat and the ball good enough to succeed at the highest level, but his non chalant performances of late state otherwise. He needs to find his form back if India were to brighten their chances in the next game.
