5th ODI : India wins IBDI Fortis Wealthsurance cup : Series 4-1.


India-Wins-IDBI-Cup-Beating-Srilanka-2009.jpg Losing hurts more to whom ~ the one who always lose or the one who never lose?

Although, being human, we like the surprise element when a lesser team fights hard to beat its superior opposition, losing means lot less to them than a team that rarely tastes defeat. you bet they'll come back stronger & harder the next time.

Indian fans will be hoping for something similar after their team lost today's fifth & final oneday international at colombo against Srilanka after winning all previous 4 games and also the 5 ODIs before that against England. India's best winning streak of 9 games in a row came to an end today but from a philosophical angle - this loss should do world of good for current Indian team which has been setting high standards in last couple of years.

A tough tour of New Zealand beacons for young Indians & losing to Srilanka today should show them how bad a loss hurts, and hence you should always win, win & win!

Take nothing away from Lankan team. Cricket is a game of toss and they were unlucky in that department throughout this IBDI Fortis Wealthsurance cup 2009 where India captain MS Dhoni won 4 of 5 tosses. 5th time coin rolled into Srilankan captain Mahela Jayawardene's favour - lankans posted healthy total of 321 in this Day oneday international at RPS ground which indeed brought high profile Indian batting under pressure. visitors were playing with as many as 9 capable batsmen but failed to break free against some inspired bowling from home team.

9 bowlers were used by Indian captain today, barring himself (Dhoni is a wicket keeper) and Gautam Gambhir. (full scorecard).

Ravindra Jadeja became 11th Indian batsman to score a fifty on his debut one day international but lack of support from other end destroyed this Rajasthan Royals rookie's dream of winning the first ever cricket match he played for his country.
