Indian late order batsmen need not try for big hits alone. Even they take singles and two they touch 8 runs. The difficulty is they wish to go for quick runs Let them train themselves to defend and go for quick singles
Re: What is Dhoni and Jadeja doing

this is the fag end of the cricket season in Australia and New Zealand and the witches have wear and tear.India must go with two spinners.Four medium pacers are too many.
Absolutely right.This column has rightly brought out the one glaring weakness in an otherwise dreamlike performance of the Indians in the last two matches.For psychological reasons Dhoni might not be accepting the shortcomings publicly but the team just can't afford to overlook such glaring glitch which has occurred not just once but twice in quick succession. When Raina fails and Dhoni falls trying to accelerate such a situation is developing and Dhoni must accept that this problem exists.The problem is occuring because Jadeja is looking rusty with the bat unable to connect with the ball repeatedly.Solution? Jadeja has to practice and get back his form he is capable of. Other options include Dhoni coming up the order or using Rohit Sharma in the rear and Rahane opening the innings.Whatever it is, as it is rightly pointed out this drawback could prove costly while chasing in a knock out match and needs to be addressed.In the next match against UAE and WI India could chose to chase and try out the 45-50 over big hitting experiment either chasing or even first batting with Jadeja in the loop.

Ajinkya Rahane is best opener for Mumbai so also Rohit Sharma so Mumbai team got all out against Karnataka vinay Kumar hurricane
India's victory in both the matches, but it was below average batting performance in last 5 overs in both the matches. India lack depth in batting, and if both the openers & Virat fail in any of the forthcoming matches, India is going to have difficult time.
