India registered their fourth consecutive win in as many matches with almost ten overs to spare and six wickets to go today at Wankhede stadium, Mumbai. India is more than compensating for their humiliating defeat by the same opposition at their home grounds. England today started well, electing to bat after winning the toss. The top order scored at good pace but the middle order faltered and cope up with the spin. Ashwin bagged three for 38 in his ten overs. The debutant pacer Varun Aaron made his mark by removing last three wickets. The England innings folded at 220 in 46.1 overs. India in reply made short work of the target by scoring required runs in just 40.1 overs. Kohli and Raina impressed by scoring 86 N.O. of 99 balls and 80 of 62. The last match will be played on Eden Gardens with Indian team well set to give their countrymen well deserved Divali gift of a white wash of a team which humiliated them so very recently.

Ya eagerly waiting for the deewali white wash. Indian team played all 4 matches with full enjoyment.raina found his form with a sparkling knock of 80. He became the man of the match also. Virat is playing with consistency. Dhoni is batting well to finish the matches. Indian bowling is also performing well. So indian team, the world champios have found back the lost rhythm. Hope this good form will continue and make a 5-0 victory.

India's revenge series is well and truly on. Now we have gone on to a 4-0 lead with a 5-0 whitewash beckoning. What is the most heartening part is that the fact that 3 out of the 4 matches were crushing victories. The one at Mohali went to the last over, but India always seemed to be in control. Today Raina was awesome after India lost early wickets and Kohli was also very good.
Aaron Varun made a decent debut picking up three wickets on debut. But these were mostly lower order wickets, so we need to see how he performs against top order batsmen.
Cheers!

It is good, a great comeback indeed after a crumble at the hand of English at their home land, but still Indian team have to prove themselves at foreign soil. That would give them more confidence. I guess, its just their mindset. They think at home they are the best and when playing away, it is the host advantage, otherwise this kind of drastic improvements cannot happen right. The team has won World cup, T20 but still not having the confidence of winning at somebody else's land!. I wish that day happens very soon.
