India keen to wrap up ODI series on winning note
Friday, April 14 2006 15:08 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

Indore: Having allowed England to restore some pride, India will try to ensure that their experiments with young talents do not backfire as they seek to end the seven-match one day cricket series on a wining note at Maharani Usharaje stadium here tomorrow (Apr 15, 2006).

India's run of eight successive wins was halted in Jamshedpur, where a determined England pulled off a 5-wicket victory, and the home team would now be keen to regain the winning momentum and wrap-up the series with a 5-1 verdict.

The return of captain Rahul Dravid will provide the experience in the batting order but the hosts will still be scratching their head on how to handle their two passengers - Virender Sehwag and Mohammad Kaif - who have struggled to come out of a prolong form slump.

Although Sehwag has expressed his desire to be rested, it remains to be seen whether the team management gives him a break or another opportunity to rediscover his form. The same holds true for Kaif, who has managed one double figure in his last nine innings.

Karnataka opener Robin Uthappa is almost certain to make his one day debut as he was not given a chance in the last game in Jamshedpur.
