Tri Series Final : Is India Ready ?

India finally managed to reach the finals thanks to the brilliant batting effort by Virendra Sehwag and some really positive bowling by the seamers. But the question is whether this team is ready for the Finals that will start in some time from now. I am afraid the answer is no. Team India is not at all in form specially in batting they have not done anything so far and that for me is the major concern. If you take out Sehwag from the equation then all the others are struggling for form. Even the opening slot is missing the sting with Dinesh having a very ordinary series with the bat. Overall the batting looks bad inspite of it being very good on paper.

If we talk about the bowling then also we don't have much to boost about but for the impressive show in the last match against New Zealand. On the other hand I find Sri Lankan's having a better and in form team for the finals with the likes of Sangakara, Malinga and company. They have had a consistent run through the series and are sure more prepared for the finals. But having said that we can never predict the Indian team and what they may do on a given day.

So I am waiting with my fingers crossed and hoping that things turn out good for us. Although we have started winning some finals recently but our record in finals has been bad and we have that tag of loosing the big games. I hope that today we win and for that we will need the team to perform as a team. I am also worried about the form of Yuvraj, it has been a while since he has played properly. I hope today is his day and he hits himself into form and also helps India win. He is a match winner and Indians will need his services if they had to perform well in the upcoming World Cup. Let us hope that our team wins today.
