Rahul Dravid was dropped from captaincy and his former deputy Virender Sehwag was appointed as the captain of the One-day squad for the first two matches. India won the first match but Pakistan may get back in the series in the 2nd ODI to be played tomorrow as Mohali pitch is pacer friendly. Pakistan pace star Shoaib Akhter may exploit this pitch if he plays.
More exciting games ahead and as before its my turn to look for online resources to watch/follow matches.
