It is unfortunate India had no answers to the spin magic of Asantha Mendis. The Lankans have a found a worthy successor to the spin wizard Muthiah Muralitharan. Though it is too early to judge Mendis, he has proved himself beyond any doubts in the Asia cup.
Are the Indians back to their famous jinx in the finals? .This is the second time we are losing a match in the final in recent times .Both times the loss was to another Asian giant. Or is it Dhoni's magic touch is on the wane? As captain Dhoni has faced three successive failures in the finals.Once in the IPL , then in the Tri series at Bangladesh and now in the Asia cup.
It was the familiar and pathetic sight of a losing Indian captain talking about the positives after a defeat. But the fact is that the so called strong batting line up did not apply itself .Gary kristen also needs to do some plain talking. This is the second consecutive defeat in the finals after he took over the reins.
Moral of the story is don't rest on the past glories of the T20 world cup win and the victory down under. Let us hope Dhoni and his men will prove to be lucky atleast in the forthcoming Sri Lanka tour.
