Though Champions Trophy has kicked off today, India have their first match on September 26 against Pakistan in Centurion. India lost their only warm-up match to New Zealand and there seems to be uncertainity over opener Gautm Gambhir’s fitness.
India after staying on top of the ICC rankings and clinching the triangular series in Sri Lanka recently, Indians were humbled by 103 runs by a side that had lost to a local team in its previous match.
It is still not sure if Gambhir, who missed warm-up match, has really recovered from his groin strain. Also the other concern is about the bowling attack of Ishant Sharma and R P Singh from whom the side would expect some timely breakthrough during the tournament.

Dhoni is number one batsman

September 08, 2009 By: Spunky Category: Cricket News, Player News No Comments →

Indian Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is under threat from his deputy Yuvraj Singh. This is just for the top slop. Dhoni’s number one ODI batsman’s tag could be taken by Yuvraj if Yuvi performs better in the upcoming series.
India is preparing to leave for Sri Lanka for the tri-series which has New Zealand as the third team. Dhoni is the number one batsman in the chart with 44 rating points separating him from second placed Yuvraj. Besides Dhoni and Yuvraj, India have two more batsmen in the top 20. Little master Sachin Tendulkar occupies the 12th position with a place in the top 10 well within his sights, while opener Gautam Gambhir shares the 17th spot with New Zealand’s Ross Taylor.
In the team chart, India trails number-one ranked South Africa by just one ratings point but if it wins all the three matches (including the final), it will gain two ratings points.
However, if India loses one match in the tournament, it will stay on 126 ratings points while defeat in two matches will drop it to 123 ratings points.
Among other, Kumar Sangakkara is the only Sri Lanka batsman inside the top 20, sitting just outside the top 10 in 11th position. Mahela Jayawardena is in 30th position while Tillakeratne Dilshan is 32nd.
In the rankings for ODI bowlers, Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Kulasekara is feeling the pressure from New Zealand duo of Kyle Mills and Daniel Vettori. With only 36 points separating Kulasekara from Vettori, a change at the top of the order looks inevitable.
The 23rd placed Harbhajan Singh is the highest-ranked Indian bowler in the absence of 16th placed Zaheer Khan.
