In their new avatar team India with its young brigade is looking forward  to improve its foreign records.  MS Dhoni is taking this tour as a practice for the upcoming worldcup next year which will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand.  Mahi’s brigade has talents to counter any team right now but its big guns Rohit and Ashwin have been yet found wanting on foreign soils. Ravindra Jadeja’s  performance in Durban has brought some relief for the team but Mahi’s trump card Ashwin’s overseas performance still remains a matter of concern. In the opening slot Vijay did show some resistance in Africa but Sharma’s form is worrying  the team.   Rohit’s  boundless talent hasn’t been much seen overseas and he indeed wants to overcome his failures in the recent past series of Africa. Coming to the quicks department we haven’t seen lot of Bhuvneswar’s talent in the just concluded series but hope lies as the much improving Bengal’s Shami  Ahmad continues to impress us all. 2014 is an year of overseas series for the team as it has to play seven series worldwide concluding with the tour of Australia which will help the team get better prepared for next year’s world championship..
