toss will be crucial in today's game as we saw lots of dew on the ground and the pitches are bowler friendly even 130 and 140's are defendable on these tracks
and if you see the track record of dhoni iam sure he will win the toss.
If we allow these bowlers to dictate the terms then we will be finished.
For these bowlers, somebody with the attitude of Virender Sehwag is required who used to bat without even a fraction of fear without being overwhelmed by their hype, their pace, bounce or pitch condition.
His method was straight & simple, if the bowl lands in his zone, he would murder it.
Shikhar Dhawan looks to me that type of player who can go closer to Sehwag in the attitude.
Dhawan, Raina, Yuvraj & Pandya should attack from bowl one instead of taking singles or without wasting a single bowl.
Bowling is Pakistan's ONLY STRENGTH & if we ATTACK ON THEIR ONLY STRENGTH then their confidence will get down drastically as we have seen in the past ICC tournaments.
Even though we have got good record against Pakistan in recent past, let us not underestimate the pakistan players, they can go to any extent to beat India. Once they start winning it is difficult to stop them. Hence India should not take lightly.
Supremely confident of his pace attack, Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Friday said his fast bowlers are capable of sending the Indian top-order packing in the first six overs itself .
AND I SAY - -
In first six overs itself Indian top order batsman will score 50 runs ( May be they lose 1 or 2 wickets , No problem )
And PAK will lose the match in first six overs itself - - -
PAK cannot beat India on any wicket anywhere in the world .
Afridi being a captain of a cricket team of his country naturally has to defend his country men. But he under estimates Indian Batsmen like, Rohit and Kohli who have proved as world's best. Raina is still the top-ranking T20 world class batsmen above Kohili & Rohit. No Pakistani fast bowlers is better than Aussies and South African. Dhoni is in comparable captain, Wicket keeper batsman. Aswin is the leading wicket taker of the world as of date. Above all this Indian Team has the most experienced team in playing T20 teams of the world - reason IPL which Pak does not have. However the game T20 is different of other format - as even a small & inexperienced team could win the top team as it depends on the days play.
Utter failure in grooming new talents, specifically bowlers. Bringing back players nurtured by Dada like Nehra,Harbhajan,Yuvi etc proves it. Some FOOLS may not see this though.

if ganguly gave opener sehwag...dhoni has given murali vijay, rohit sharma shikhar dhawan...he has also given bowlers like ashwin jadeja ojha mishra...
but some FOOLS will never understand...
look at the record of kohli as captain...all his success is due to the good work of dhoni as a captain...but again some fools will not see this...

It is a funny comment. Under whose captaincy Rohit, Shikar, Kohli, Raina, Jadeja, Aswin, Bhuvaneshkumar and the recent debutants Bumrah & Pandya introduced in national cricket. I think Dhoni has been captaining since 2007 T20 world cup. No captain did not have such a long tenure - as many failed, some quit and some not willing to accept captaincy. Why this kolaveri against Dhoni?
