It,s hard to predict in 20-20 as who will emerged as a winner.We have a team wherein everyone is a match winner but as we have seen in IPL the team that jels easily and are motivated enough will win.......Also the way indian media and public scrutunize indian team performance it adds to lot of pressure and takes the enjoyment that playing any game gets.....What happened with us and pak in last one day world .......All players succummed to pressure...however last time in 20-20 there were nil expectation and less presuure....something which is not dis time.........let see how Dhoni faces this...it will be a test of his character also
