India won the first ODI against NZ comfortably by 53 runs in a rain hit match of 28 overs. After this win also Dhoni Indian team captain is missing a quality third seamer who can use slower balls and bouncers in the middle effectively. Dhoni after winning the match said”, we need to fill our third seamer department because ball stops doing much after some over and in such case we need a bowler who is good at using slower balls and bouncers effectively to assist main lead bowlers.”
Dhoni concerns about this one is right also as Irfan Pathan in T20 is not able to impress as a first change bowler and Munaf Patel in first ODI has bowled only two overs and given away 14 runs. Dhoni’s concerns also show that he needed RP Singh in squad to NZ. If this is case then his concern’s about third seamer is right also and RP Singh could have been better option in NZ seeing his overseas record.
