Yup it is true, India finally is the numero uno Test team in the world on the ICC rankings. This dream was achieved after 18 months of hard work and nailed after thrashing the visiting Lankans at the Brabourne stadium by an innings. The most satisfying aspect was Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar being part of this momentous occasion. They are the three remaining from the Fab Four and how I wish Saurav Ganguly was there with them to celebrate, the man who started this rejuvenation and instilled in our listless team, the pride to play for India.
Of the Gen X , Viru and Gauti have, what it takes to become the greatest opening pair in the history of the game and with tremendous youngsters like Vijay, Yuvi, Rohit, Raina & Kohli waiting in the wings, the future looks very flowery.
And how can one forget Gary Kirsten and the support staff who have kept the team fit and raring to go for every game. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is no fluke captain as some detractors would like to bring up everytime. He is an excellent batsman-keeper, a shrewd captain and really at present the only man who can lead India to even greater heights.
Pity the BCCI is reluctant to organize more tests , hence India's reign at the top might be short-lived, but for the moment let us savor this occasion and bask in the glory.
Kudos to India!!!
