Can Sourav restore India's glory?

Tweet

India's batsmen have the reputation of being the finest in the world with their penchant for tall scores and ability to play mesmorising shots. However, the reality is they so often flattered to deceive once away from the familiar (not flat- that's unfair) Indian pitches - Tendulkar and Dravid apart. It wasn't until Ganguly took over the captaincy that this began to change and all the Indian players started to show more fight abroad - look how Sehwag has scored 100s in England, South Africa and Australia - Laxman was a revelation in Australia and did well in the Caribbean. This was short lived however, as when Rahul took over, India's old frailties began to show. Can the very presence of Sourav in the camp bring back the old magic, can he contribute enough runs himself out on the field and even give the one day team a boost at the top? As much as ChappellG is stubborn, being Australian he is pragmatic and I feel will come to realise Sourav is an essential part of both sides. Sourav has proven his worth in the domestic game but more important has been the character he has shown - that's what gets a good player to score like a great one - as the example of Collingwood only too well shows. I'm ecstatic as his comeback - are you?
