A point of similarity between Gabriela Pasqualotto and Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Until today, the two were content playing the game “Maybe I will, maybe I won’t”.
Pasquallotto, of course, was referring to whether she’d make her story public to the tabloids.
She will—if she’s paid and if she’s allowed to write it herself. Fair enough.
Dhoni kept his fans and the BCCI on tenterhooks as to whether he would be part of the West Indies ODI scene.
The breaking news is that he will not.
Gautam Gambhir leads the side in his absence—Suresh Raina,his able deputy.
No real surprises since the selectors decided to reward consistency rather than “flash-in-the-plan” IPL performances.
I guess, club and moolah over state does not cut much ice at BCCI headquarters.
Parthiv Patel and Wriddhiman Saha are the glovesmen.
Vinay Kumar is the only selection that could be said to have been chosen for his exploits in the IPL.
Murali Vijay misses out. S Badrinath, deservedly, gets another opportunity—at last.
The squad:
Gautam Gambhir (captain), Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel (wk), Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, S Badrinath, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Munaf Patel, Vinay Kumar, Yusuf Pathan, Amit Mishra, Wriddhiman Saha (wk).
