As predicted, as envisaged, as planned and as executed, India won the 3rd Test against South Africa at Kanpur by 8 wickets. Well it allows India to stay as the No. 2 Test team in the world. If Kumble had played then in all probability the match would have finished in 2 days itself and India may have won by an innings and few runs. Piyush Chawla disappointed. Dhoni's captaincy was sharp but the pitch played a major role in the victory. Dhoni' captaincy needs to be judged over a longer duration. Selectors are best adviced not to tinker with the captaincy of Kumble. Also selectors should allow the opening partnership to continue. Once Zaheer is back, we will have a very good team. Now all eyes are on IPL. The buzz is already there. The players have started arriving and reaching their respective franchises. Month-long extravaganza is just 5 days away. Let's see what happens between IPL organizers and the news agencies. It seems media is slowly having its way.
