PERIOD.. The turning point for Gambhir and Dhoni is... Gambhir's SIX attempt at 90 resulted in a catch.. and Dhoni's SIX crossed the rope.. Total Gambhir made more Runs than Dhoni..

Gambhir was bowled in that WC Final match. :D
Need chance: Ambati Rayudu 2 matches 57 runs average of 29 runs he has the talent
Sucessfull: Viral kholi 5 matches 291 runs averag 58 runs MS dhoni 5 matches 272 runs average 68 runs
only difference from team in 1990 and now is, In 1990s only one player used to do batting now it is two - kholi & dhoni, but this is not good enough to win.
If we take a look at the current team against the rest that have been left out for T20 and 2015 WCs we can get the best inspite of the selection blunders. K Jadav has an average of 50 with an SR of 106 in List-A
If recreated we have
Gambhir Sehwag Pujara Yuvraj Tiwari Jadhav Samson
Aaron Yadav Mishra Harbhajan
Though Tiwari is injured and Samson is still young he is talented enough. This team will be able to play the T20 and ODI WCs in 2015.
"Rohit could score just 50 in five innings, for a tally of 145, at an average of 29. Rest assured, he still will keep getting more chances!"
"The less said about Ishant Sharma, the better!
One cannot recollect a luckier player than Ishant in Indian cricket; he continues to enjoy the backing of his captain and selectors despite poor performances time and again."
Ohh, I forgot that we are "blind haters" of Dhoni and "un-patriotic" like many guys here..
How many players of present WORLD CUP teammates are still playing?what will be the extent of experimentation until next WOLD CUP ? I think Dhoni is experimenting for all 10 position being the sole member of WORLD CUP winning team ?
For our convenience India has been creating slow and spin friendly pitches however we have not produced any great spinner in recent time, where as most of the cricket playing nations like West Indies, S Africa Australia New Zealand have fast bounce pitches and our team looks like a harris sheild team in front of them,Unless Ranji is palyed in such pitches and conditions recent results will be a regular feature.
