Yes. Though im not a cricket fan, I was worried if Dhonis performance in Chennai soil will go waste, but his home ground (Yes, he was, is and always be CSK's Captain and a Chennaiyan) saved him.
Yes, but selectors did tried different options like Risabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik and Parthiv Patel,but only for a series. They shud ve 1 or 2 backup wicket keepers before the world cup.
Eden Gardens' preparation for second ODI hit by rain
Wet weather in Kolkata has lent an element of uncertainty to only the second ODI between India and Australia at Eden Gardens since the TVS Cup final in 2003. There are concerns over whether the groundstaff have had adequate time to prepare the pitch amid persistent rain.
There was a spell on Monday that resulted in the pitch being under covers in the afternoon and another on Tuesday morning, forcing the groundstaff to cover the entire outfield. The met department has predicted a possibility of more rain in the coming days.
Sujan Mukherjee, the chief curator at Eden Gardens, has insisted that a sporting surface benefiting both batsmen and bowlers will be provided. Mukherjee's East Zone colleague Ashish Browmick, however, fears that the surface may not have enough pace in it if it remained under the covers for too long.
