Indian Cricket comes of Age.

Well, it's a habit of all kinds of media to Hero worship. So if TV channels come, why should Bleacher Report be far behind? Just kidding.

The recent past has seen a lot of young Indian talent coming to the face of the International stage, this is mostly due to the support finally being shown in the youngsters. The ongoing Asia Cup just seconds what I have said so far.

Its a very very young Indian side, considering the eldest member of the team that is battling humidity in Karachi is Verender Sehwag. To quote the irony here, when Viru was just a kid, Sachin was already a star. To make the irony explicit, Ishant Sharma is three years older to the experience that Sachin has at International Level. 

Thanks to the recently concluded IPL (Indian Premier League), the fresh blood of Indian cricket is blossoming like flowers in spring. The best part of the League is the dressing room experience that the like of Yusuf Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Ojha, Gony, and others had while playing with the stalwarts of the game. 

The promise that was expected by the public was fulfilled at most times.

The T20 World Cup was yet another word of caution to the playing nations that the young and restless of India are here to stay.

The widely speculated slump in the Indian batting line when the Big Three retire has been almost shot at point blank by solid performances at the top by Viru and Gambhir and in the Middle by the likes of Yuvraj, Rohit Sharma, Raina and others.

The hard hitting look of M S Dhoni, has changed into a very intelligent role of rotating strike.

The three  matches that we have seen so far bear witness to a fact that the whole mindset of the team has changed. 

From a past, where spinners were brought on very early in the innings to the persistence with their fast counterparts, shows the mind set of Indian cricket today. 

Even though it was agianst shaky looking Pakistan, the manner in which 300 was chased under lights in Karachi puts a seal on what I mean by the mindset. The top and the middle order is not afraid to take the aerial routes.

Indians kept on rotating strike and getting boundaries at will. "Offence is the best Defence", and if it needed any proof it was on display at the National stadium in Karachi. 

The modern game has changed a lot, and fielding in cricket's latest child T20 has become the most important part. The fresh blood has really raised the bar of fielding to unknown heights for Indian Cricket. The ring on the off-side has the names Yuvraj, Raina, Uthapa, Rohit Sharma, and Gambhir, all very very good fielders.

After a slump of about three years has come a captain who is not afraid of making mistakes and is ready to shed off any criticism with a charming smile. 

The straight-forward talk and no nonsense style of play portrayed by the Indian captain is more or less a picture of his simple roots. The Indian captain at times has been called just lucky, but some one has rightly said Fortune Favours The Brave.

The state of Indian cricket today can be sealed with one eye-calming picture. That of MS Dhoni, calmly standing with his hands behind his back for Sreeshant to take the catch that won India the T20 world cup.

Yes! All looking calm and peaceful as of now in the Indian team.
