Wicket getting low and slow made our chase difficult: Dhoni

    Rajkot : India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday blamed the slow and low wicket in the second innings for their 18-run loss in their third One-Day International (ODI) against South Africa at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Sunday.

“I thought 270 was a par score, the wicket kept getting lower and slower and the dew didn’t help us out. It became a bit two-paced and become difficult to play the big shot. We are looking for batsmen to play at five, six and seven,” he said at the post match presentation ceremony.read more...http://www.vishwagujarat.com/sports/wicket-getting-low-and-slow-made-our-chase-difficult-dhoni/

It was a game we should have won: Dhoni

     Kanpur : After losing the first of their five-match One-Day International (ODI) series by a slender margin of five runs against South Africa here on Sunday, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said it was a game they should have won.

Chasing a target of 304, the hosts managed 298/7 in their quota of 50 overs. Rohit Sharma’s splendid 150-run innings went in vain here at the Green Park ground.read more...http://www.vishwagujarat.com/entertaintment/acting-rugby-srk-sidharth-malhotra-bonds-with-students-in-auckland/

Preview: India vs South Africa, 2nd T20 Match at Cuttack

       After the Defeat in the First Twenty20 International, Deseperate Team India will look to plug the loopholes in bowling and bounce back in a must-win second T20 of the three-match series against South Africa at Cuttack on Monday.

It’s an unfamiliar situation for India to start a home series on a losing note, and the manner of the defeat in Dharamsala would put the hosts under tremendous pressure, especially the bowlers. Back after a break of three months, the onus would be on limited overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to bring the team out of the rut and ensure India get back to winning ways. read more....http://www.vishwagujarat.com/sports/preview-india-vs-south-africa-2nd-t20-match-at-cuttack/

Some umpiring decisions changed the game: Dhoni

       Dharamsala : India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday said he believed some umpiring decision which did not go in favour of his side changed the game as South Africa beat the host by seven wickets in the first T20 international at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium here.

J.P. Duminy’s 68-run innings proved to be the decisive factor as the Proteas got home with two deliveries to spare. But the left-hander survived two very close shouts for leg-before-wicket during his stay at the crease. Both looked to be right in front of the stumps but the umpire thought otherwise.read more...http://www.vishwagujarat.com/sports/some-umpiring-decisions-changed-the-game-dhoni/
