The skipper of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has said that Sachin Tendulkar will shut the mouth of his critics by performing brilliantly in the upcoming test series against England. Sachin struggled a lot in the recently played test series against New Zealand. He was clean bowled on three occasions and on all those occasions, the ball went between his bat and pads to hit the stumps which is never a good sign. Also, the ball went past his bat a number of times. He was not trying to go forward while facing the Kiwi fast bowlers. He was just trying to push the ball without moving his fit. Sachin is renowned all over the world for his brilliant footwork both against the pacemen and the spinners. But, it seems that the age is getting on him a bit.
But, the Indian captain didn’t look worried about Tendulkar’s form. Dhoni said that Sachin has gone through tough phases in the past as well. Whenever, people criticise him, he comes with something special and he will do the same again. He is a great player and he would definitely score huge amount of runs in the test series against England. Apart from Tendulkar, one other key player of the Indian test team, Gautam Gambhir, also struggled with his form against New Zealand. On being asked about that, Dhoni said that Gambhir played some fantastic shots in the second innings of the Bengaluru test match and he was looking in very good nick. He would just have to work a bit on his technique of leaving the ball. In test matches, it’s very important to pick the right deliveries to play. You just can’t chase every delivery. You must have the patience to leave the away going deliveries. As per Dhoni, Gautam is a hard working player and he would get back in form pretty soon.
