Ganguly Dropped from ODIs: A Big Surprise

January 20, 2008 by Cricket Logger

Indian side announced its new and younger looking  team for the ODIs with Australia. Biggest surprise came in the form of dropping of Saurav Ganguly from the team headed by Captain Dhoni.

I think the reasons leading to Ganguly's omission include poor fielding and running between the wickets, which is very critical to winning One Day Matches. Also, the selectors might have considered his performance at Nagpur match where he couldn't push the run machine while chasing a thriller at Nagpur.

Team:

MS Dhoni (captain),

Yuvraj Singh (vice-captain)

Sachin Tendulkar

Robin Uthappa

Gautam Gambhir

Rohit Sharma

Suresh Raina

Virender Sehwag

Dinesh Karthik

Harbhajan Singh

Piyush Chawla

Sree Santh

Praveen Kumar

R P Singh

Irfan Pathan

Ishant Sharma

Standby: Manoj Tiwary, Munaf Patel, Yusuf Pathan.
