Top players who struggles; from indian perspective

Tweet

"Virender Sehwag": If it was up to some of our readers the entire Indian squad would have made up this column. But then feelings are running fairly high at the moment. Sehwag, though, was quickly at the head of the pack despite glimpses that he may have turned the corner, not with his ton against Bermuda, whose attack Geoff Boycott's mother would have creamed to all parts, but his promising 48 runs gainst Sri Lanka. However, his failure against Bangladesh, dragging Mashrafe Mortaza into his stumps, set the tone for India's campaign and they never found second gear when it mattered. What do you think shewag should retire or change his batting position?? --------- "Sachin Tendulkar": Remember, these choices are those of our readers. is the fans who idolised Tendulkar for years who have nominated him for this list. Is it the end of an era? World Cup history is littered with Tendulkar moments and he is still comfortably the leading run-scorer of all time. However, his tame dismissal against Bangladesh, undone by an arm-ball, and being bowled off the inside edge against Sri Lanka are further signs that his powers are waning. As expected, when grow with age. Even his late-over flogging of Bermuda appeared more the act of a man desperately trying to hang on rather than someone stamping his authority on a game. --------- "Mahendra Singh Dhoni": A third Indian and another big-name player who failed when the pressure was on. The small West Indian grounds should have been made for Dhoni's strokeplay, nstead his contribution was limited to 29 against Bermuda and a handful of catches. His limp cut shot against Bangladesh was in the middle of the collapse which sealed India's fate, but he can't be blamed too much for not picking Murali's doosra. That may happen for any in the world. That will be of no consolation to the billions who don't have their team to follow and the glamour boy of Indian cricket has lost his sparkle. ------------------- ------------------- ur comments are welcome regarding this issue
